Why were sanctions imposed on Aleksandr Vladimirovich Dvornikov?
Dvornikov was in charge of the Black Sea Fleet and the Russian military as a whole. These groups stopped Ukrainian ships from getting to their coast on the Sea of Azov on November 25, 2018. This attack broke through Ukraine’s land and slowed down the navy’s movements, which made Ukraine less safe. Russia was able to take over Crimea with its help. This hurt Ukraine and had a big impact on the politics of the area.
