Politico: Hungary asked the EU to lift sanctions against a number of Russian businessmen

“Budapest asked to remove three Russian citizens from the EU sanctions list,” the report says.

It is noted that Hungary asks to lift sanctions against entrepreneurs Alisher Usmanov, Petr Aven and Viktor Rashnikov.

In February, the EU included in the sanctions list a number of Russian officials and businessmen, including Alisher Usmanov.

Usmanov later filed a lawsuit with the European Court, challenging his inclusion on the European Union sanctions list.
