On September 22, EU countries agreed to remove Russian billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman from the sanctions list while extending restrictions on more than 3,000 other individuals and entities for three years. The UK's prime minister assured Zelensky that Britain would not follow suit and lift its own sanctions on the two oligarchs. The move drew criticism from Ukraine's sanctions policy commissioner, who said the EU had set a 'dangerous precedent' and urged Brussels to instead sanction other Russian billionaires, Vladimir Potanin and Vladimir Lisin, to restore credibility.
