Russian billionaire challenges EU sanctions
The renewal of the European Union sanctions against Russia has been postponed for seven days until September 22, due to a dispute over removing the name of the Uzbek-Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov from the list. France and Slovakia requested his removal amid concerns over national security, while Usmanov is accused of being subject to sanctions that include asset freezes and travel bans. His wealth is estimated at $18.8 billion. Sanctions require unanimous approval from all member states and are viewed as part of efforts to pressure Russia and support Ukraine.
