> The EU’s General Court annulled Council decisions from 2024 and 2025 that kept former Federation Council member Oleg Tkach under sanctions. It found his 2022 vote justified the initial listing but not later extensions, rejecting the Council’s arguments about his political views and business ties. Tkach remains listed under a March 14, 2026 decision and is challenging that extension.
