Evraz’s London shares suspended after Abramovich sanctions
Russian steel giant Evraz’s London-listed shares have been temporarily suspended by Britain’s financial regulator after top shareholder Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by Britain, a notice from the London Stock Exchange shows.
The Financial Conduct Authority has temporarily suspended the London listing from 11:00 GMT on Thursday “in order to protect investors pending clarification of the impact of the UK sanctions”, the LSE’s notice said.
Evraz shares fell 16% after the Abramovich sanctions announcement.
Russia’s ten richest individuals have lost more than $30 billion in 2022 because of Western sanctions on Russia in reprisal for the invasion of Ukraine.
Abramovich was a confidant of former Russian president Boris Yeltsin and current leader Vladimir Putin. He owns the Premier League club, Chelsea and is former Governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug region.
