Russian oligarchs Mikhail Fridman and Alisher Usmanov have been removed from a sanctions list after reaching an agreement to extend existing restrictions on their assets and activities for another three years. The deal follows a period of heightened scrutiny over their business dealings amid broader geopolitical tensions. Under the new terms, the pair will face continued limitations on their financial operations and political influence, though the specifics of their obligations remain under review. The move signals a temporary easing of pressure while maintaining oversight of their economic activities.
