    Latvia Blocks EU Sanctions Extension Over Oligarchs' Removal

    Latvia opposed the extension of EU sanctions against Russia due to a proposal to remove two Russian oligarchs, Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman, from the list. The EU sanctions, which target individuals undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity, require unanimous approval. Latvia's prime minister, Artis Pabriks, stated that extending sanctions for 36 months is crucial, but not at the cost of removing these oligarchs. The dispute has led to a temporary extension of sanctions until September 22, with EU ambassadors set to meet to find a solution before the deadline.
