At the beginning of November, Tert.am reported that the next expansion of American sanctions against Russia also affected businessman Gleb Trotsenko. The Trotsenko family owns the mining company GeoProMining, which combines various mining assets, including gold, copper and molybdenum mining in Armenia and the Zangezur copper-molybdenum plant.
