EU Removes 2 Russian Oligarchs From Sanctions List
The decision drew criticism from some officials who encouraged nations to declare new sanctions against the men.
Ambassadors of the 27 EU member states voted to remove three people and one company from a list of sanctioned entities linked to Russia. Two of the individuals identified were prominent Russia-linked businessmen Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman. This decision was reportedly made at the request of France and Luxembourg in exchange for a 36-month extension of the sanctions.
