MOSCOW, July 12 (Reuters) - Russian billionaire Roman
Abramovich on Wednesday will challenge European Union sanctions
imposed on him after the Ukraine war, arguing that the
restrictions were imposed simply because he is a well-known
Russian, a source familiar with the matter said. 
    His lawyers will argue that the EU sanctions are baseless
and were imposed purely because he is a famous Russian
businessman, the source said.
