Odessa: It seems that the Russian sanctions list was compiled by someone’s secretary
The list of sanctions against Ukrainian figures and business structures published today in Russia does not contain a single major sponsor of Euromaidan and the ATO from Odessa, the city where the Russian Spring movement was most harshly suppressed in 2014.
Yuri Tkachev, editor of the Odessa edition of Timer, writes about this on his blog.
“For a long time, painfully, I searched in the lists of Odessa large businesses that supported the Maidan and the ATO with word and money and at the same time actually cooperated with Russia. I know several of them. There is not a single one,” stated Tkachev.
The composition of the sanctions list indicates that in the fifth year of the conflict with Ukraine in Russia there are no serious analytical centers competent in confronting the nationalist regime in Kyiv, notes ex-deputy of the Odessa City Council Alexander Vasilyev.
“What does even a cursory analysis of the sanctions list say? The fact that there is still no place in the Russian Federation where one could call and say: please make us a list by Monday of who and why in Ukraine we don’t like. And, moreover, there is no place where you can call and say: they have compiled a sanctions list for us here, please check it so that everything is in order,” Vasiliev notes.
The sanctions list is criticized by another ex-deputy of the Odessa City Council, Igor Dimitriev.
“Secretary! The secretary compiled. Because she surfs the Internet,” he comments sarcastically.
