The European Union may extend sanctions against Russia for three years at once – until September 2029. At the same time, they plan to remove two Russian billionaires – Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman – from the list.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a> “European Truth” with reference to two EU diplomats.<\/p>\n

EU ambassadors discussed the sanctions on September 22 and tentatively agreed to extend them. If the decision is finally approved, the restrictions will remain in place for another 36 months.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Usmanov and Fridman are planned to be removed from the sanctions list. According to one of the sources, this was part of a compromise that was discussed by the EU countries.<\/p>\n

A second diplomat also confirmed that the ambassadors agreed to expel two Russian billionaires.<\/p>\n

Now the EU countries must finalize the decision. To do this, a written procedure will be launched in the near future.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, ambassadors from all 27 EU countries have agreed to lift sanctions on Russian businessmen Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman<\/a> . However, there is no final decision yet – it can still be blocked by any EU country. <\/p>\n
