France and Spain allowed Russian businessmen to pay for Suprykhta under sanctions - Reuters

Most owners are already paying for maintenance, crew, docking and insurance. Journalists noted that individuals are usually not allowed to carry out financial transactions where sanctions are applied to them. However, the authorities of Spain and France allowed payments. The Ministry of Finance of Spain reported that the 2014 law, passed after the annexation of Crimea in Russia of the same year, allows persons under sanctions to make the necessary payments for assets.

The ministry did not confirm whether payments were sanctioned. According to journalists, the US and the European Union proposals made earlier, sell the arrested Russian assets and transfer the proceeds to Ukraine and stopped.

James Jaff, a lawyer from the British firm "Jaffa & Co", which specializes in the maritime courts, stated that the cost of detention was most often "pocket money" for their owners, and the non -payment of commissions could allow the creditors to demand that the courts sell to repay debts. "Sanctions seem to have no expected devastating effect," Yaffa said. The publication writes that five yachts have been frozen in France.

Oleksiy Kuzmichov, a shareholder of the Russian Alfa-Bank, who is under sanctions, paid two frozen vessels in Cannes and Antibaks in accordance with the Law of the European Union of 2014. The French Ministry of Finance has confirmed that EU rules allow payments. Earlier, Focus reported that in India they talked about the price ceiling for Russian oil.

After the great invasion of Russia in Ukraine, India became the second largest Kremlin oil client after China, as Western companies did not want to buy Russian oil because of sanctions that Putin persuaded Erdogan to create a gas hub in Turkey. The President of the Republic has confirmed that European countries will be able to buy fuel coming from the aggressor country through Turkey.
