European Union officials have agreed to extend sanctions against Russia—which apply to 3,000 individuals and entities—for three years. However, two Russian oligarchs have been removed from the sanctions list, according to Reuters reports, citing European diplomats.

The agency noted that unanimous support is required to extend the sanctions. Previously, they were extended every six months.
