PRESS RELEASE No 132/23

Luxembourg, 6 September 2023

Judgments of the General Court in Cases T-270/22 | Pumpyanskiy v Council and T-272/22 Pumpyanskaya v Council

War in Ukraine: the General Court dismisses the actions brought by Mr Dmitry Alexandrovich Pumpyanskiy and Ms Galina Evgenyevna Pumpyanskaya against the restrictive measures adopted by the Council

Although Mr Pumpyanskiy has not played a direct role in military offensive in Ukraine, he is involved in economic sectors which constitute a substantial source of revenue for the Government of the Russian Federation.

From the beginning of Russia’s war against Ukraine in February 2022, the Council has included on the restrictive measures lists of members of the Government, banks and leading businesspersons supporting, benefiting from or providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation. 1 Mr Dmitry Pumpyanskiy, Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC Pipe Metallurgical Company (TMK) and President of the board of the Sinara Group, was added to the list on the grounds, first, that he supported the authorities of the Russian Federation and State-owned companies and, second, that he is a leading businessperson involved in economic sectors that constitute a substantial source of revenue for the Government of the Russian Federation. Ms Galina Evgenyevna Pumpyanskaya is also included on the restrictive measures list as the spouse of Mr Pumpyanskiy and Chairwoman of the BF Sinara Foundation’s Board of Trustees.
