The EU decided on March 12 to lift sanctions against Arkady Volozh, the co-founder of Russia’s most popular search engine, Yandex.
Volozh’s name was listed in an announcement on the EU’s website along with 11 other individuals who were removed from the sanctions list.
The EU sanctioned Volozh in June 2022, arguing that Yandex promotes pro-government narratives and is complicit in Russia’s war against Ukraine. Volozh resigned as CEO of Yandex after being sanctioned.
