www.rferl.org
The EU has removed a number of Russians from its sanctions list after pressure from Hungary and Slovakia, securing a deal to extend broader measures. The move highlights growing divisions within the bloc over its stance on Moscow, as Hungary continues to push for delistings in each renewal cycle.

The European Union is set to remove Russian businessman Viatcheslav Moshe Kantor, the country’s sports minister, Mikhail Degtyaryov and Gulbahor Ismailova, the sister of oligarch Alisher Usmanov from its sanctions list.

    Ugh… Can’t throw Hungary out of EU. They’ll go hungry and hangry and they’re landlocked behind defensive lines. Orban knows he’s a thorn and is loving every minute of it.

    Being an evil oligarch/dictator wannabe is very fun until someone actually kills you.

      There is still a mechanism to remove a county’s veto power, I believe. Probably not easy to invoke, but it exists.

      If the Hungarian people don’t want to be in the glorious Russian union state like Belarusians, they can do a maidan colour revolution to make their choice heard.
