Anti-Corruption Foundation political projects chief Leonid Volkov called the EU’s removal of sanctions on Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman “shameful” and a “terrible precedent.” He said Fridman secured relief without public action against Putin’s regime, although Volkov had argued four years ago for clear conditions such as condemning the war and aiding Ukraine. FBK leader Yulia Navalnaya endorsed his criticism.

Diplomats say Latvia stopped opposing a Franco-Slovak plan to remove Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the EU sanctions list.

Latvia refused to back a deal that would remove Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the EU sanctions list in return for extending the broader list, covering about 3,000 Russia-linked people and organizations, for three years. Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs said a 36-month extension would be appropriate, but should not be bought by removing the two individuals. EU ambassadors had agreed to lift their sanctions if no member state objected.
The EU remains split over a disputed proposal to preserve wider sanctions on nearly 3,000 people and companies accused of enabling Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine. The plan would remove Russian billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the sanctions list, but Latvia says it cannot accept that condition; without agreement, the measures will expire at the end of the day in Brussels.
Vsevolod Chentsov, Ukraine’s deputy premier responsible for European and Euro-Atlantic integration, said sanctions relief should wait until Russia shows “real, concrete” movement toward peace. He also rejected politically motivated removals from the EU’s Russia sanctions lists.

The agreement is expected to be signed at the UN General Assembly, though its text has not been published. Denmark and Greenland say it will respect Greenland’s sovereignty.
After the US, Denmark and Greenland signed a security agreement, an expert said it would not actually give Washington many additional rights. He said Donald Trump nevertheless wanted at all costs to prevent even a tiny risk of Greenland turning towards China, adding that inflating the risk lets Trump voters see him as taking action.
