EU won't re-list Usmanov, Fridman; France, Slovakia pressure holds

EU foreign policy chief Kallas stated the bloc has no near-term plans to re-impose sanctions on Russian oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman, who were recently delisted under pressure from France and Slovakia. This signals a fracture in EU unity on Russia sanctions, with member-state interests overriding collective enforcement. The delisting may embolden other sanctioned individuals to seek legal or political relief, weakening the overall sanctions regime.
