The United States has designated former Ukrainian public official Ihor Kolomoyskyy over alleged corruption, the State Department said on Friday.

"While this designation is based on acts during his time in office, I also want to express concern about Kolomoyskyy’s current and ongoing efforts to undermine Ukraine’s democratic processes and institutions, which pose a serious threat to its future," Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a statement.
