EU renews Russia sanctions for three years while dropping Usmanov and Fridman from the list

EU envoys agreed to renew sanctions on nearly 3,000 Russian individuals and entities for three years while removing Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the sanctions list. France pushed for Usmanov's removal citing national security concerns, and Luxembourg demanded the same for Fridman, who has a $16 billion claim against the country. Latvia, the last holdout, abstained, allowing the deal to pass; the decision awaits formal written procedure.
