MILAN, July 1 (Reuters) - UniCredit said on Monday it had applied to the General Court of the European Union to seek clarity over the requests made by the European Central Bank to cut its Russia exposure.

UniCredit, which is one of Europe's banks with the biggest exposure to Russia, said it had concerns about the terms set out by the ECB, which may go beyond the current legal framework.

"While this application is being heard, UniCredit has requested an interim suspension of the decision pending the proceeding," the company said in a statement. (Reporting by Valentina Za; Editing by Elisa Martinuzzi)
