Sancțiunile UE împotriva Rusiei, prelungite cu șapte zile. Disputa privind Usmanov amână decizia pentru șase luni

The EU has extended sanctions against Russia for seven days until September 22, amid ongoing negotiations for a six-month renewal. Disagreements among member states focus on the potential removal of billionaire Alisher Usmanov from the sanctions list. France, alongside Slovakia, has requested his removal, citing national security concerns. The sanctions, affecting nearly 3,000 entities, were set to expire on September 15. The extension allows member states more time to review renewal proposals, requiring unanimous approval from all 27 EU countries.
