🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
This is like letting two squirrels off the hook because the tree council couldn't agree on the nut ban.
💡 Why it matters
The delisting undermines EU sanctions credibility and signals weakness to Moscow, potentially emboldening other sanctioned individuals to challenge restrictions.
The EU removed Russian billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from its sanctions list while extending restrictions on nearly 3,000 others for three years. The delisting was a compromise to meet a Tuesday deadline requiring unanimous approval from all 27 member states.
