Ukrainian authorities have arrested assets of Russian businessman Mikhail Fridman in the Ukrainian Alfa-Bank in the amount of UAH 12.4 billion (about $420 million). This was stated on Facebook (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist in Russia) by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Irina Venediktova.
“The assets of the Russian oligarch Friedman in Alfa-Bank were arrested for more than UAH 12.4 billion,” she wrote.
Venediktova explained that the securities of Cypriot companies affiliated with the businessman, which were in bank accounts, were arrested.
RBC sent a request to Alfa-Bank.
Alfa-Bank Ukraine is a Ukrainian commercial bank with international capital, part of ABH Holdings SA (ABHH). Among the owners of ABHH are Mikhail Fridman, Herman Khan and Peter Aven. The bank is not a “daughter” of the Russian Alfa-Bank, there is no share of Russian state-owned banks in its capital.
After the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, the National bank of the country transferred control over Alfa-Bank Ukraine to a special committee, depriving shareholders of the right to vote with their shares. At that time, plans were announced to rename Alfa-Bank Ukraine to Sense.

Since the beginning of the special operation, sanctions against Friedman have been imposed by the European Union and the United Kingdom. After the restrictions, the Russian businessman left the boards of directors of Alfa-Bank, LetterOne, Veon, X5 Retail Group.
Friedman himself, who lives in the UK, compared life under sanctions to life under house arrest. He accused the authors of the sanctions of misunderstanding Russia: according to the entrepreneur, it is impossible to stop the special operation by pressure on business, businessmen cannot influence the president.
