Since the beginning of the special operation , sanctions against Fridman have been imposed by the European Union and Great Britain. After the restrictions, the Russian businessman left the boards of directors of Alfa-Bank, LetterOne, Veon, X5 Retail Group.

Friedman himself, who lives in the UK, compared life under sanctions with life under house arrest. He accused the authors of the sanctions of misunderstanding Russia: according to the entrepreneur, it is impossible to stop the special operation by pressure on business, businessmen cannot influence the president.
