The EU lifting sanctions against Russian oligarchs because of France and Luxembourg should receive far more public interest: even if you don't care about Ukraine you should ask why on earth Macron et al publicly humiliated themselves? What blackmail do the Russians have? Or is it "just" corruption?

@sun Ok: who are those prisoners? (ignoring the fact that "exchange" clearly doesn't work to describe what's happening because those oligarchs weren't prisoners) 

Also: as some kind of response to blackmail (of the kind: "we have your guys - lift the sanctions or else") seems deeply flawed because now the Russians know that if they want to get something they just have to arrest a couple of Frenchmen.
