Increasingly cornered, Russian oligarchs began to look for alternatives to combat the harsh sanctions of the United States, Britain and the European Union (EU). Roman Abramovich, one of the richest people on the planet, arrived in Moscow on Tuesday.Ben Airport Gurion from Tel Aviv, Israel.
As reported by The Times of Israel, the Gulfstream G650 private jet, owned by the owner of Chelsea, landed in the Russian capital this Tuesday morning.After a short stopover in Turkey
The pilot had to take an alternative route to avoid southeastern Ukraine and the North Caucasus, where there was a fierce fight against the invasion of Russia. Therefore, luxurious jets flew over Georgia, Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea and Kazakhstan, and finally landed on Russian lands.
The Russian tycoon was sanctioned last week by Britain due to his close relationship with the regime of Vladimir Putin, which prevented him from accessing his home in London. Despite having an Israeli passport, he was not allowed to stay in the country either.
Israel has announced in the past few hours that it will not allow Russian oligarchs to evade sanctions due to a decision celebrated and recognized by the British Foreign Ministry.
“We welcome the news from Yair Lapid that Israel will support sanctions against Russia. We are working with our allies and partners to put pressure on Putin and challenge an unprovoked and unnecessary attack on Ukraine.” Liz Truss, head of the British Foreign Ministry, said on social media
“Israel will not be a way to circumvent the sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other Western countries,” said Israeli Foreign Minister Lapid.
Until now, Israel has not participated in the sanctions applied by the West against Russian oligarchy in order to assume the role of mediator between Russia and Ukraine, since it maintains good relations with the two countries.
However, the airport authorities are instructed not to allow long-term parking of Russian private planes approved by the United States. According to Channel 12, a luxury private jet owned by a man close to Putin cannot spend more than 48 hours on Israeli land.
Abramovich obtained Israeli citizenship in 2018 after Britain refused to renew his visa due to the intensification of diplomatic clashes between London and Moscow.
Two days before the invasion of Ukraine, he donated a millionaire to the Holocaust Museum Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, but the agency decided to give up the money and announced that he was breaking ties with the tycoon two weeks later.
Despite not being able to renew his British visa, Abramovich remained the owner of the English football club Chelsea for many years.However, he tried to sell it, knowing that he would enter the sanctioned oligarchy list at the end of last month.

Last week, the British authorities, whose net worth was estimated at £9.4 billion (111 billion euros, $122 billion), frozen the assets.
In addition to the blockade of assets, Abramovich will not be able to enter British territory, and any kind of business on British land will be banned due to Putin's “close ties” with the Russian regime.
His intention to get rid of the blues in this way was suddenly paralyzed, and despite the fact that the Russian giant asked the Rain Group to propose effective purchases to those applying for the acquisition of the institution, the future of the club remains unknown. The estimated value of Chelsea's sales is estimated at about $4 billion.
In addition, the Premier League announced the official removal of the tycoon as the main face of the club over the weekend. “Following the sanctions imposed by the British government, the Premier League board disqualified Roma Abramovich as director of the Chelsea Football Club.”
On Tuesday, the European Union adopted a fourth package of sectoral and individual sanctions against Russia's military aggression against Ukraine with the aim of inflicting “another big blow” on the economic and logistical base of the Kremlin war machine.
This new package, promoted by European leaders at an informal meeting held in Versailles (France) on March 10-11 and approved this Monday by Ambassador Twenty Seven to European institutions, includes trade and financial restrictions and adds more oligarchs to the blacklist of community clubs.
The package expands the list of sanctioned individuals and organizations as a new step towards the circles closest to the Kremlin, including oligarchs such as Abramovich.
