Alexei Mordashov, a prominent Russian billionaire and chairman/major shareholder of Severstal, has been the subject of Western sanctions related to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. Sanctions discussions and listings have affected his business affiliations, including his role with the TUI group, though he has publicly stated he was not involved in political decisions.[2][4][7]

In recent years, coverage has focused on how sanctions have reshaped his assets and corporate governance, including transfers or reshuffles of stakes in associated companies and his stepping back from some board positions.
