Ukraine has sanctioned Israeli-Georgian millionaire Mikhael Mirilashvili, accusing him of supporting the Russian invasion, reports Zman Yisrael, the Times of Israel’s Hebrew-language sister site.

Mirilashvili is considered close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Mirilashvili is the owner and president of Watergen, a company that developed a patented technology that processes air to generate clean drinking water.

His son owns the right-wing Channel 14 TV news channel.
