Tensiuni în UE din cauza încercării Franței de a scoate un magnat rus de pe lista sancțiunilor

EU member states are divided over lifting sanctions on controversial billionaire Alisher Usmanov, accused of supporting Russia's war in Ukraine. France and Slovakia advocate for his removal, citing national security concerns. The situation remains tense as ambassadors meet to discuss the sanctions regime, which requires unanimous renewal every six months. If lifted, Usmanov could conduct business in the EU and transfer funds freely. The lack of consensus raises fears of setting a dangerous precedent for future sanctions.
