Although the EU report does not mention this, the Guardian reminds that Khudaynatov is also linked to two luxury superyachts allegedly belonging to Putin.
Heavy vehicle producers Kamaz and UAZ, Sukhoi jets Together with dozens of the military industrial complex producers the EU sixth sanction package includes heavy vehicle producers Kamaz and UAZ. UAZ “provides the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with UAZ Patriot vehicles, which were used by the Russian army during unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine”, while KAMAZ-5350, KAMAZ-6350, KAMAZ 6560 vehicles were also used by the Russian army.
This is notable, as Kamaz domestic heavy trucks are crucial for cargo transportation and a number of other industries, from construction to waste management.
In addition, the EU also sanctioned Sukhoi aircraft manufacturer for the use of its combat aircrafts by the Russian military. Up to 20 Sukhoi’s civil SuperJet 100 medium-halt airplanes were planned to be supplied to Russian domestic carriers cut out of foreign jet supplies, according to Vedomosti daily.
Alina Kabaeva Among the 65 individuals sanctioned under the sixth EU sanction package is Alina Kabaeva, the chairwoman of the Nationa Media Group (NMG), former Russian gymnast and a former member of the State Duma who is "closely associated with President Vladimir Putin”.
As followed by bne IntelliNews, in May the UK also sanctioned President Putin's alleged “girlfriend”, along with his ex-wife and cousins.
Previously Putin has already been personally sanctioned, but unconfirmed reports claimed that ex-Olympic gymnast-turned-politician Kabaeva was exempted from the US Treasury’s sanctions due to fears of a furious reaction from the Russian president.
The EU sanction list does not mention Kabaeva’s alleged relationship with Putin directly, but states that “she is associated with a listed person responsible for and actively supporting actions undermining the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine”.
Marina Mordasheva and Aleksandra Melnichenko Following the US and EU sanctions against Russian steel tycoon Alexey Mordashev (Mordashov), the EU sanctioned his wife Marina Mordashova (Mordasheva). The EU notes that Mordashev has transferred his shares in the travel giant TUI and the gold company Nordgold, together worth more than €1.5bn, to his wife Marina Mordashova through various offshore companies, including Unifirm Limited, Ondero Limited and Ranel Assets Limited.
In addition, the EU sanctioned the Serbian and Croatian national Aleksandra Melnichenko, the wife of the previously sanctioned Andrey Melnichenko, the owner of the major fertiliser producer EuroChem and coal company SUEK.
