France pushes EU to lift Usmanov sanctions after Azerbaijani pressure over detained French nationals
Straits Times·FR · AZ · RU·2 days ago
The EU is considering compromise options regarding sanctions on Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov to end a stand-off with France. The dispute likely stems from French legal or political objections to the sanctions, and a compromise could weaken the EU's unified sanctions stance. The outcome will signal the bloc's resolve on Russia sanctions enforcement.
