ToAs Politico wrote, Budapest had previously insisted on excluding Alisher Usmanov, Pyotr Aven and Viktor Rashnikov from the sanctions list. However, the EU persuaded Hungary to postpone its demand Alisher Usmanov Hungary has temporarily abandoned its demand for the lifting of sanctions imposed by the EU against three Russian businessmen, writes Politico. On September 6, the publication, citing four diplomats and EU officials, wrote that Brussels should extend the term of restrictions against Russians, otherwise it will expire. The deadline is September 15th. Within the European Union, this extension was considered as a technical formality, but Budapest decided to insist on the exclusion of three Russians from the sanctions list. According to two diplomats, we are talking about Russian businessmen Alisher Usmanov, Peter Aven and Viktor Rashnikov.
According to Politico, the Czech Republic, which holds the presidency of the EU Council, has reached an agreement with Hungary, which has agreed to postpone the discussion of the three names until next time.
The founder of USM Holdings, Alisher Usmanov, came under EU sanctions at the end of February. The businessman challenged this decision of Brussels. Usmanov asked the court to suspend the restrictions until a final decision on the appeal is made. Usmanov is also under sanctions from the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Japan.
Aven was on the EU sanctions list at the same time as Usmanov. After that, he resigned from the Board of Directors of Alfa-Bank, where he served as chairman.
