Dagens Nyheter says France got two oligarchs off the list; taz says 'the EU' struck them

The Union renewed its Russia sanctions, but Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman came off the list. A Swedish paper names France and hints at a reward. A German paper names the Union and says Paris pushed for Usmanov.

Europe European Union France Russia Sweden

What happened. All member states agreed to extend sanctions on 3,000 Kremlin-friendly people and firms, Dagens Nyheter reports. Two men came off the list. taz names them: Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman.

Who acted. The two reports disagree.

Dagens Nyheter taz
Who removed the men "among others France" "Die EU"
France's role got them off "against strong protests" Paris "above all" pushed for Usmanov
Names the men no yes
Size of the list 3,000 not given
Official quoted Sweden's foreign minister none

A hinted deal. Dagens Nyheter writes that "the French reward appears to have come immediately". The part of the article we hold does not say what the reward was.

Sweden objects. Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard told Dagens Nyheter it was "unfortunate and frustrating" that "some member states' actions" led to two "influential businessmen" being delisted.

What is not settled. - Which other governments backed the removals. Dagens Nyheter says "among others". Neither report names them. - What France gained, if anything. The reward is hinted at, not shown. - Why France wanted it. Neither report quotes a French official. - The 3,000 figure comes from one report, and we hold only its opening.

What this is about. The European Union keeps a list of people and firms it says support Russia's war on Ukraine. Their assets in the Union are frozen and they may not travel there. This week two Russian billionaires came off that list.

How it got here. Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, and the Union began listing Russian officials and backers then. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the list grew fast. Usmanov, a metals and telecoms magnate, and Fridman, a co-founder of Alfa Group, were both added in the first days of that invasion. Both have challenged their listings in the Union's courts.

How the list works. Sanctions are foreign policy. In the Union, foreign policy is decided by the member governments in the Council of the EU, and they must all agree. Each name on the list expires unless every government agrees to renew it, and the renewals come every six months. So one government can hold up the whole list. At past renewals, some governments have asked for names to come off as the price of their vote.

Who is involved. - France, which both reports name as pressing for the removals. - Sweden, whose foreign minister objects. - The Council of the EU, where the 27 governments decide. Neither report names it. - Usmanov and Fridman, whose assets in the Union are no longer frozen and who may travel there again.

What is at stake. Whether the list is a common policy or a bargaining chip. Each delisting shows other people on the list that pressure on one capital can work.

Where it stands. The renewal is agreed and the two men are off. The reports we hold do not say why France pushed or what it may have got.

What is being argued about

  • Who took the two men off the list: France or the Union
  • Whether France was rewarded for it
  • Sweden's objection
  • How the unanimity rule lets one government shape a common decision

The bias in this coverageBias

France named, the deciding body not

Both reports name France or Paris as the force behind the removals. Neither names the Council of the EU, where sanctions are decided unanimously; one says only 'the EU'. Neither quotes a French voice explaining why.

2 reports naming France or Paris as acting 0 reports naming the Council of the EU 0 reports quoting a French official

Named men, unnamed men

One report names Usmanov and Fridman. The other calls them 'Putin-close oligarchs' and does not name them. Each gives the reader a different fact to hold on to.

1 reports naming the two men 1 reports quoting any official
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.

Claims and verdicts

true The EU renewed its Russia sanctions but took two oligarchs off the list.
Dagens Nyheter reports that all member states agreed to extend the listings but two oligarchs close to Putin were removed, and taz reports the same removal. Only taz names the two men, as Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman.

true France pressed for the oligarchs to be removed.
Dagens Nyheter names France among the states that got the two men taken off the list, and taz says Paris lobbied hardest for Usmanov. Neither report says which other member states were involved or how each government voted in Council.

The only report that gives the size of the list (3,000), hints at a French reward and quotes an objector: Sweden's foreign minister.
EU:s samtliga medlemsländer har till slut enats om att förlänga sanktionspaketet mot 3 000 Kreml-vänliga aktörer. Till starka protester lyckades dock bland andra Frankrike plocka bort två Putin-nära oligarker från listan – och den franska belöningen ser ut att ha kommit omedelbart. – Helt fel signal i en tid då Rysslands agerande blir alltmer aggressivt, säger den lettiska utrikesministern Baiba Braze.
Who is named as acting: France named as the member state that removed the two men; it is also cast as acting against strong protests — “Till starka protester lyckades dock bland andra Frankrike plocka bort två Putin-nära oligarker från listan”
Hedged insinuation: Hints that France was rewarded, hedged with 'appears to', and the report does not say what the reward was — “den franska belöningen ser ut att ha kommit omedelbart”
Whose voice is quoted: The only voice quoted is a critic of the removal, the Swedish foreign minister; she calls the men 'businessmen' where the report calls them 'oligarchs' — “Det är olyckligt och frustrerande att vissa medlemsstaters agerande resulterat i att två inflytelserika affärsmän avförs”
Who is named as acting: France is named as the actor who got the two names removed; the Union is not — “Till starka protester lyckades dock bland andra Frankrike plocka bort två Putin-nära oligarker från listan”
Insinuation hedged, not attributed: Suggests France was rewarded for the removal, with no source and no detail of the reward — “och den franska belöningen ser ut att ha kommit omedelbart”
Whose voice is quoted: Only one government is quoted: Sweden's foreign minister, who objects. No French voice appears. — “– Det är olyckligt och frustrerande att vissa medlemsstaters agerande resulterat i att två inflytelserika affärsmän avförs, säger utrikesminister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M) till DN.”

The only report that names the two men, Usmanov and Fridman, and it says Paris pushed hardest for Usmanov.
Die EU-Sanktionen gegen Russland sind schon lange ein Zankapfel. Bisher endete der Streit meist, wenn sich die 27 Mitgliedstaaten auf neue Strafmaßnahmen geeinigt hatten. Diesmal ist es anders: Der EU-Beschluss, die beiden russischen Milliardäre Alischer Usmanow und Michail Fridman von der Sanktionsliste zu streichen, sorgt für Empörung in der Ukraine, aber auch darüber hinaus. Der ukrainische Außenminister Andrij Sybiha nannte die Entscheidung auf X (vormals Twitter) beschämend und nicht zu rechtfertigen. „Moskau feiert“, erklärte er. Die EU-Staaten sollten nun eigene, nationale Sanktionen ge
Who is named as acting: 'The EU' is named as the actor; the report does not say which institution decided — “Die EU streicht die Oligarchen Alischer Usmanow und Michail Fridman von ihrer Russland-Sanktionsliste.”
Stated flat versus attributed: Paris's lobbying for Usmanov is stated as fact, with no source given — “Für Usmanow hatte sich vor allem Paris eingesetzt.”
Headline framing: The headline frames the decision as a win for the two men, not as a decision by a government — “Erfolg für zwei russische Milliardäre”
Who is named as acting: The EU as a whole is the actor in the lead sentence, and both men are named — “Die EU streicht die Oligarchen Alischer Usmanow und Michail Fridman von ihrer Russland-Sanktionsliste.”
What is stated flat: Says flatly that Paris lobbied, without attributing it to anyone — “Für Usmanow hatte sich vor allem Paris eingesetzt.”
