As noted in the statement, their decision “ensures that the majority of Directors on the boards of En+ and Rusal will be independent — including American and European persons — who do not have business, professional or family ties with Deripaska “or any other legal entities or individuals on the US sanctions lists.

In addition, the Ministry stressed that “all sanctions imposed on Deripaska continue to remain in force.”
