Usmanov is described as having particularly close ties to President Putin The European Union is to remove sanctions on two oligarchs imposed after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, according to reports, prompting anger in Ukraine.
乌斯马诺夫被描述为与普京总统关系特别密切 据报道,欧盟将取消对俄罗斯 2022 年全面入侵乌克兰后对两名寡头实施的制裁,这引发了乌克兰的愤怒。
France had campaigned for Russian-Uzbek billionaire Alisher Usmanov to be taken off the list, citing "national security concerns".
法国曾以“国家安全担忧”为由,呼吁将俄罗斯乌兹别克斯坦亿万富翁阿利舍尔·乌斯马诺夫从名单上除名。
Luxembourg called for the removal of Russian-Israeli businessman Mikhail Fridman, who is suing the country for the release of frozen assets. Latvia initially opposed the deal but agreed to a compromise, part of which involved extending sanctions on nearly 3,000 other individuals and entities for three years.
卢森堡呼吁驱逐俄罗斯裔以色列商人米哈伊尔·弗里德曼(Mikhail Fridman),他正在起诉卢森堡,要求其释放冻结的资产。 拉脱维亚最初反对该协议,但同意妥协,其中包括将对近 3,000 名其他个人和实体的制裁延长三年。
Ukrainian officials said the move was "unacceptable" and sent the wrong signal to Moscow.
乌克兰官员表示此举“不可接受”,并向莫斯科发出了错误信号。
"Moscow is celebrating because it got what it wanted: a sense of impunity, the humiliation of the EU, and division among Europeans," Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha said on X.
“莫斯科正在庆祝,因为它得到了它想要的东西:有罪不罚的感觉、欧盟的耻辱以及欧洲人之间的分裂,”外交部长安德烈·西比哈 (Andriy Sybiha) 在 X 上表示。
He urged all EU member states to instead announce national sanctions on the two individuals.
他敦促所有欧盟成员国宣布对这两个人实施国家制裁。
Latvia has already said it would do so. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov earlier welcomed the prospect of the two oligarchs being taken off the list, claiming the EU's sanctions were illegal and all Russians should be removed.
拉脱维亚已经表示将这样做。 克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫早些时候对将这两位寡头从名单上除名的前景表示欢迎,声称欧盟的制裁是非法的,所有俄罗斯人都应该被除名。
Usmanov founded USM Holding company, an investment group that owns iron, steel and copper suppliers, and the Megafon telecommunications company.
乌斯马诺夫创立了 USM Holding 公司(一家拥有钢铁和铜供应商的投资集团)和 Megafon 电信公司。
He has in the past had ties with the English Premier League clubs Arsenal and Everton. The EU froze his assets in 2022, describing him as "a pro-Kremlin oligarch with particularly close ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin".
他过去曾与英超俱乐部阿森纳和埃弗顿有过联系。 欧盟于 2022 年冻结了他的资产,称他为“与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京关系特别密切的亲克里姆林宫寡头”。
Usmanov said the decision was "unfair". It has been reported that France's initiative was linked to a prospective prisoner release deal with Azerbaijan.
乌斯马诺夫表示,这一决定“不公平”。 据报道,法国的倡议与与阿塞拜疆的潜在囚犯释放协议有关。
Fridman has avoided condemning Putin outright for the war in Ukraine Fridman, a Russian-Israeli citizen born in Ukraine, is the founder of the Alfa Group investment conglomerate, with key interests in energy and banking.
弗里德曼避免因乌克兰战争而直接谴责普京 弗里德曼是俄罗斯裔以色列公民,出生于乌克兰,是阿尔法集团投资集团的创始人,主要涉足能源和银行业。
The EU has described him as a top Russian financier and enabler of Putin's inner circle.
欧盟称他为俄罗斯顶级金融家和普京核心圈子的推动者。
Fridman himself said at the time of Russia's full-scale invasion that the conflict should end as soon as possible, but avoided outright condemnation of President Putin. His Russian-Latvian business partner Pyotr Aven was stripped of Latvia's highest civilian honour in 2022 for failing to condemn the invasion of Ukraine.
弗里德曼本人在俄罗斯全面入侵时表示,冲突应该尽快结束,但没有直接谴责普京总统。 他的俄罗斯-拉脱维亚商业伙伴彼得·阿文(Pyotr Aven)因未能谴责对乌克兰的入侵而于2022年被剥夺了拉脱维亚最高公民荣誉。
This may have influenced Latvia's opposition to the move, vetoing it in a vote by EU ambassadors on Monday.
这可能影响了拉脱维亚对此举的反对,并在周一欧盟大使的投票中否决了这一举措。
However, on Tuesday it changed its vote to an abstention as a compromise was reached.
然而,周二,由于达成妥协,它将投票改为弃权。
The new deal involved extending sanctions on some remaining 2,600 individuals and entities to three years.
新协议包括将对剩余 2,600 名个人和实体的制裁延长至三年。
Until now, sanctions had to be renewed every six months. Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs also announced that France had agreed to start talks with Latvia about joining a French nuclear deterrence initiative and strengthen its military presence in Latvia. Who are the mega-rich Russians facing sanctions?
到目前为止,制裁必须每六个月更新一次。 拉脱维亚总理安德里斯·库尔伯格还宣布,法国已同意与拉脱维亚就加入法国核威慑倡议并加强在拉脱维亚的军事存在展开谈判。 谁是面临制裁的俄罗斯巨富?
