Lithuania sanctions Russian billionaires Usmanov and Fridman despite EU delisting
Original: Lithuania has imposed national sanctions on Russian billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman after the EU remove
Lithuania has imposed national sanctions on Russian billionaires Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman after the European Union removed them from its sanctions lists. Both men have been declared persona non grata and banned from entering Lithuania for five years, with the restrictions subject to review. The move underscores Baltic states' willingness to keep pressure on sanctioned Russians even when Brussels relaxes measures.
Why now: It highlights a split between EU-level sanctions policy and tougher national positions in the Baltic states over Russia.
