Episode The Price of Unanimity: How Europe Made Its Sanctions Negotiable on September 22
Bottom Line: On September 22 the EU renewed individual sanctions on roughly three thousand russian persons and entities for thirty-six months, but removed Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman as the price of unanimity, after requests by France, Luxembourg and Slovakia and intercessions by third governments. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania moved toward national sanctions, while Azerbaijan pardoned a Frenchman and Washington invited putin to the Miami summit. The conclusion is that unanimity has turned sanctions into a market of bilateral compensations that moscow can exploit before July 2027.
