Spokesperson for the Russian government claims UK ‘forbade’ negotiations with Russia
Billionaire Roman Abramovich said in a statement on Wednesday that he was disappointed by the loss of a legal challenge to overturn sanctions imposed on him by the EU, Reuters reports.
“Although we are disappointed with today’s ruling, we welcome that the court did not take up several arguments presented by the EU Council and did not include them as a basis for maintaining sanctions,” Abramovich said in a statement issued on his behalf.
