War in Ukraine: no agreement within the EU on the lifting of sanctions against two Russian oligarchs
The Twenty-Seven are due to continue their discussions on Tuesday, with Paris demanding the removal of Alisher Usmanov from the European sanctions list.
European Union member countries have not reached an agreement in principle on the lifting of sanctions on two Russian oligarchs, one of whom is the subject of a withdrawal request made by France.
According to the available information, France is calling for the removal of Alisher Usmanov from the list of people sanctioned by the EU, a request that has raised reservations from several European countries as well as Ukraine.
Discussions between the Twenty-Seven are due to continue on Tuesday, without a consensus having been reached during the previous exchanges.
A sensitive issue
The issue of individual sanctions against Russian figures remains a recurring point of disagreement between member states, in the broader context of European discussions on the war in Ukraine.
