EU ambassadors in 21 September could not agree on extending personal sanctions against the aggressor country Russia for violating Ukraine's territorial integrity. This was reported by "Ukrainian Truth" with reference to several EU diplomats.
The sanctions regime, introduced in 2014, covers individuals and companies responsible for acts against Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence. It includes, in particular, the illegitimate president of the aggressor country Russia, Vladimir Putin, members of the Russian leadership, oligarchs, and also the exiled president Viktor Yanukovych.
European officials planned to consider the issue at the next meeting.
14 in September the EU extended the sanctions regime for only seven days due to Slovakia's and France's positions, which insisted on removing from the list Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman and Alisher Usmanov. Paris cited supposed "concerns about national security" and tied the possible lifting of sanctions from Usmanov to the release of several French citizens from prisons in Azerbaijan.
