this is the cbs "overnight news." i'm jeff pegues in washington. thanks for staying with us. russian oligarchs are feeling the pinch of western sanctions over the invasion of ukraine. m mansions and luxury yachts seized, bank accounts frozen. and the ability to travel to much of europe and the u.s. are banned. some of these oligarch billionaires insist they are getting a raw deal. here's seth doane. >> reporter: you have billions of dollars in a bank. >> yeah, i have a pretty sizable amount of money. >> but you can't touch it? >> no, not at all.
3:41 am
>> reporter: he's a billionaire with no access to cash, because this month, mikhail fridman became another russian oligarch to be slapped with sanctioned. how did you learn you were sanctioned? >> from tv. >>e nowhere to hide. >> we're coming for your ill-begotten gains. >> all of these measure also significantly harm putin's ability to finance his war. >> reporter: to punish russian president vladamir putin for invading ukraine, the u.s. and allies are foregoing military intervention and using the financial weapon of sanctions, aimed at both the state and on individuals deemed close to putin, flashy assets are being seized, and bank accounts frozen. if you put your atm card -- >> my card is blocked, so i could not get any money. >> reporter: fridman, who made
3:42 am
his billions in banking and retail and lives in london is on the uk and eu sanctions list. i wouldn't expect you to tell me, but i would think a billionaire would have access to money somewhere. >> no, no. >> there must be an account. >> must be, but there's not.re. th w'mhere bse would lik t explain. sanctis against unfair, useless. for what? what did we do wrongly? except we do business in russia. >> reporter: can't a wealthy russian businessman close to putin have some impact this >> first of all, the power of distance between mr. putin and everybody around him is huge. >> reporter: you can't make billions in russia without being close to the kremlin. that's very typical and inappropriate myth. the majority of russian business people do not have personal ties
3:43 am
to mr. putin. >> putin has been using corruption to enrich himself and expand his power. everyone swims in that water. >> reporter: after tom burgess wrote his book, he says the west has been gorging on russian money, whether in property, this is fridman's $85 million london mansion, now a frozen asset. or sports teams. chelsea football club, one of the world's most valuable franchises, is owned by a sanctioned oligarch. how do you know this is dirty money being blocked by these sanctions? >> dirty money is hard to define. you can make the argument that anyone who has made and retained an enormous fortune in a dictatorship we know to be profoundly corrupt, that person is complicit in that regime's power. >> reporter: still, to show us that his money is clean, fridman
3:44 am
sent us this audit. he's a man stratling different worlds. he's russian, jewish, and born and raised in now what is ukraine, then part of the soviet union. >> what do you think of president zelenskyy? >> i think he's the president of an independent country, and he's very brave and strong person as far as i understand. >> reporter: in a letter to employees before he was sanctioned, fridman wrote war can never be the answer. he's one of the few oligarchs to speak out against the invasion of ukraine. you said you were against the war. >> i am against the war. >> but you can't criticize puten? >> i think right now the climate in russia is not very tolerant with regards to that. mr. putin made a very clear speech regarding traitors, enemies of the state. >> do you think he was talking about you? >> i don't know.
3:45 am
i definitely do not believe i'm enemy of the state. >> do you believe you're a traitor in putin's view? >> i hope not, but looks like. >> what does that mean for you? >> it's very difficult situation, by any dimension. >> and all of the people suffering in this war, many to not have a lot of sympathy for russian billionaires. >> right. and i understand that attitude. >> reporter: he acknowledges the effectiveness of the wider sanctions that have crippled russia's economy, but claims he's collateral damage. >> reporter: fridman says, where is the due process in this? >> fridman has a point. there are civil servants and politicians writing names on a list. what you really want is a
3:46 am
criminal process, right? if someone is guilty of corruption, you can prosecute them for that. the danger with sanctions is that they start to create this system outside the rule of law, where people are targeted with very little due process, yeah. >> that was seth doane reporting. during this invasion, many people have been forced into poverty. and soon that pain could spread to other nations. tina krause reports. >> reporter: ukrainians who survived the shelling of their homes can only pick facing expensive vitamin c creams with dull results? olay brightens it up with new olay vitamin c. gives you two times brighter skin. hydrates better than the $400 cream. you said that you would shave your eyebrow off for a #klondike ( ding ) ( shaving buzz )
