The European Union will not renew sanctions against three men targeted over Russia's war against Ukraine when the current punitive measures expire later this week, three diplomatic sources told Reuters on September 12. Western governments have imposed sweeping economic sanctions, including Russian oil import bans, on Moscow for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year. The trio are Russian businessman Grigory Berezkin, billionaire Farkhad Akhmedov, and the former head of Ozon, a Russian e-commerce firm, Aleksandr Shulgin. Russian military leader Georgy Shuvaev, who died last year, will also be removed. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
