This was announced by White House press secretary Jen Psaki, the broadcast was hosted by The Washington Post.

“I have nothing to announce regarding the consideration of the imposition of sanctions [against Akhmetov] <...> We are, of course, considering a number of sanctions in light of the fact that we are seeing a build-up of Russian forces and belligerent rhetoric. But I have nothing to announce beyond that,” she answered the question of whether Washington is considering imposing sanctions against Akhmetov.

Akhmetov called Zelensky's words about his "drawing" into a coup d'état a lie Politics

Earlier, on November 26, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said at a press conference that he had information about an impending coup attempt in the country with the participation of Russians. The Ukrainian leader referred to audio recordings of Russian and Ukrainian representatives discussing Akhmetov's involvement in the conspiracy. The businessman himself, according to him, is not on the film. “I believe that this is a setup for businessman Rinat Akhmetov. I believe that this is an operation, he is being drawn into a war against the state of Ukraine,” the president said.

After that, Zelensky invited Akhmetov to the office of the President of Ukraine to "listen to information that can be shared."
