The European Union Court of Justice has ruled to remove Russian billionaires Mikhail Fridman and Petr Aven from a list of individuals facing European Union sanctions after Russia's attack on Ukraine in 2022.
The court ruled the billionaires should not have been included on the list between February 2022 and March 2023. It said a substation in Mykolaiv was targeted as well as generation and production facilities in the Odesa region. Yesterday, Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said that Washington would"not sit by and say everything is fine" after Beijing renewed pledges of cooperation with Moscow during a visit by Russia's top diplomat.
