EU Lifts Sanctions on Prigozhin Following His Death
The European Union has officially lifted sanctions against Yevgeniy Viktorovich Prigozhin after his death in August 2023. This decision comes as part of the EU‘s ongoing reviews of its sanctions list.
Prigozhin, known for his involvement in various controversial activities, was first designated for sanctions back in 2020. The EU had identified him as a key figure engaged in actions that posed threats to peace and security.
His removal from the sanctions list marks a significant shift, especially given the high-profile nature of his past dealings and affiliations. The EU now appears to be adjusting its approach following his untimely death.
