EU Foreign Policy Chief Calls for Maintaining Sanctions on Russia: 'Stability Needed'
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas urged member states to maintain sanctions against Russia, emphasizing the need for stability as the deadline for an agreement approaches. While nearly 3,000 entities are currently sanctioned, disagreements persist regarding the removal of Russian-Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov and Russian billionaire Mikhail Fridman from the list. France, Slovakia, and Luxembourg support their removal for national security reasons, but Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andri Sybiha deemed this unacceptable. All 27 EU members must agree before the extended deadline expires.
