The EU’s sanctions list requires unanimous renewal twice a year from all 27 member states, affecting over 2,600 individuals and entities. Slovakia had advocated for the removal of tycoons Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman, but sources confirmed these names remain on the list. Envoys failed to agree during extended talks on Friday, resulting in a Saturday written procedure to finalize the rollover terms. EU leaders aim for progress on a new sanctions package, the 20th since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, at a Thursday summit in Brussels. However, Hungary’s resistance to the latest restrictions delays a €90 billion loan crucial for Ukraine’s defense and essential services funding.

Oh, isn’t it just delightful how the EU plays a never-ending game of “who can stall the longest” while the rest of us wait for a real solution? Guess the sanctions are the only thing getting a workout in Brussels! 😂
