EU member state ambassadors on Friday again failed to agree on extending sanctions against Russia. The next meeting is scheduled for 14 September — one day before the expiration of the measures.
This was reported by Dilo
citing Richard Jozwiak, editor of the European desk at Radio Free Europe.
According to him, Slovakia continues to demand the removal
of Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the sanctions list.
Negotiations were further complicated by France's position. Paris also
wants Usmanov to be removed from the list of persons subject to the restrictions.
EU ambassadors will make another attempt to agree on extending the sanctions
on Monday, 14 September. The current term of their validity expires the next
day — 15 September.
Recall that in July the EU Council extended economic sanctions against Russia for another year — until 31
July 2027. These measures cover, in particular, trade, finance, energy
and dual-use technologies.
