The European Union agreed to extend its sanctions regime for 36 months, until September 22, 2029, following lengthy negotiations among member states. The compromise also included the delisting of certain individuals from the sanctions list, specifically Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman. Ukraine denounced the removal of these oligarchs from the sanctions list as unjustifiable.
