The Swiss government has confiscated assets worth more than 100 million Swiss francs (82 million British pounds) from an aide to former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych – Yuri Ivanyushchenko. The seizure affects assets of Ivanyushchenko and his family frozen after Ukraine’s 2014 revolution. The move has nothing to do with Berne’s sanctions against Russians following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Yanukovych was ousted in 2014, in events known as the “Maidan Revolution”, which moved Ukraine to a more pro-Western path and far from Russia’s sphere of influence. Many experts say the ouster of Yanukovych was key to Russia’s annexation of Crimea and ultimately led to the invasion.
