Zelenskyy announces new packages of sanctions against Russian, its accomplices in near future
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that new sanctions decisions against individuals and legal entities from Russia and those associated with it are already being prepared and the National Security and Defense Council will soon adopt the relevant decisions. Zelenskyy made this statement in a post on the official Telegram channel, commenting on the entry into force of three sanctions packages on Sunday.
"Today, several sanctions packages were introduced.
The first targets Russian individuals involved in financing Russian terrorist activities, financial manipulations, and sanctions evasion schemes that serve Russia’s interests.
The second package targets propagandists whose lies fuel Russia’s attacks on Ukraine.
The third applies to members of Russian mafia groups who have significantly helped establish Putin's regime and are still associated with it," Zelenskyy listed in the message.
He noted that the goal is also to synchronize Ukrainian sanctions with "the sanction regimes of the European Union and other key global jurisdictions."
In addition, Zelenskyy promised that Ukraine would soon introduce new sanctions packages.
"New Ukrainian decisions on sanctions are already being prepared. Their focus is clear: individuals and legal entities from Russia and those associated with Russia, who work for the war, and who serve as a backbone for the Russian regime. New decisions by the National Security and Defense Council will follow soon," Zelenskyy wrote.
