All EU sanctions linked to Russia's war may expire as France, Slovakia seek to delist oligarchs
All of the EU's 3,000 sanctions against individuals helping Russia's war effort could be extinguished overnight if Brussels, Paris, and Azerbaijan fail to find a compromise by Sept. 21, EU diplomats told the Kyiv Independent. The EU is set to renew the sanctions against Russia-linked individuals on Sept. 21. The package accounts for about half of the EU's total sanctions listings. Given that Russia has not changed its behavior towards Ukraine since 2022, the vote to renew sanctions against those helping Moscow was supposed to be a formality. But starting with former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, some leaders have tried to use such votes to extract concessions from the EU, because any sanctions decision requires unanimity. This time, Slovakia launched a push to delist two oligarchs, Mikhail Fridman and Alisher Usmanov. But the push to delist Usmanov gained a second supporter – France. While Slovakia has not backed down, EU and national diplomats have told the Kyiv Independent that they "would have agreed by now," were it not for France's involvement. And President Volodymyr Zelensky has criticized the idea of lifting sanctions on the two men. "This is definitely not the time to lift sanctions, definitely not the time...

Trump Jr. reportedly repaying Russian oligarch for Bahamas wedding expenses, claims president
President Donald Trump has stated that his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., is repaying Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev for the lavish wedding celebration held in the Bahamas. According to a ProPublica report, Kremlev, who heads the scandal-ridden International Boxing Association and has close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the multi-day event, which included renting two private islands for approximately $100,000 per night, a fireworks display costing around $70,000, and other festivities. The report has sparked concerns about potential corruption and national security, with Representative Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, demanding answers regarding the nature of the relationship between Trump Jr. and Kremlev. Trump denied having personal ties with Kremlev and stated that his son paid back the oligarch, claiming the arrangement was 'totally allowed' and common practice. Trump Jr. and his wife, socialite Bettina Anderson, described Kremlev as a 'personal friend' met through a mutual friend in the hunting community, emphasizing that there was no business relationship. Bettina also clarified that the wedding ceremony itself was a small, intimate event attended only by family, with the lavish party being a separate celebration hosted by Kremlev after the wedding. She expressed frustration that the generous gesture was being politicized, stating, 'Friendship doesn't require a political motive. Generosity doesn't automatically come with an agenda.' The White House has been asked to provide information on any ties between Trump Jr. and Kremlev, with Representative Garcia raising concerns about potential pay-to-play schemes and foreign intelligence infiltration given Trump Jr.'s business interests and connections to the Department of Defense. Attorney General Todd Blanche, when questioned about an investigation, stated that the president 'doesn't know who this person is,' suggesting a lack of familiarity with Kremlev. The controversy has drawn attention to the intersection of personal relationships, political influence, and potential security risks, with ongoing scrutiny from congressional committees and media outlets.
