Why were sanctions imposed on Alexander Gennadyevich Vysokinsky?
Alexander Vysokinsky, a prominent member of the Federation Council, significantly contributed to the official endorsement of governmental resolutions about the ‘Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance between the Russian Federation and the Donetsk People’s Republic, as well as between the Russian Federation and the Luhansk People’s Republic.’ He has gained recognition for extending political and economic assistance to Russia’s contentious endeavours to annex Ukrainian land via referendums that are widely regarded as lacking legitimacy.
