EU preliminarily to lift sanctions on two Russians
The European Union has reached a preliminary agreement to lift sanctions on Russian-Uzbek businessman Alisher Usmanov, in response to pressure from France, as part of extending sanctions on approximately 3,000 individuals and entities for an additional three years due to the war in Ukraine. However, Ukraine condemned the move, considering it unacceptable, and emphasized the need to strengthen sanctions rather than relax them. The blacklist includes figures such as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Usmanov and Friedman were among those targeted by legal cases against the EU, due to sanctions imposed on them since the start of the war, amid rising security concerns and potential deals involving prisoner exchanges.
