A #State Dept spox said that the delisting was “independent from our ongoing efforts to advance a negotiated end to the war,” but that it was “unable to comment on the specifics of this delisting.”

The regime's minority stakeholders: Key Putin oligarchs still profiting from trade with Europe, despite sanctions
