Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha: "Usmanov and Fridman were listed because they are part of Russia's aggressive regime waging a war of aggression against Ukraine.

What has changed? Nothing. Delisting is unacceptable and would send the wrong signal to Moscow at a time when pressure needs to increase.

On the contrary, sanctions need to be tightened, individual lists expanded, and the rollover extended from six to twelve months — so that there are fewer counterproductive ideas to please Russian oligarchs".
