“And we will work with our partners on each one to combine sanctions – ours and European ones, ours and other significant jurisdictions of the world,” the head of state emphasized.
The package also includes 73 individuals, all Russian citizens.
According to the President of Ukraine, this package is a synchronization with Ukraine’s partners and our initiative.
– Only through one company, which is now on the sanctions list, and only since the beginning of this year, that is, before the sanctions, the Russians have transferred several billion dollars, and mainly this is for the needs of their military industry. Of course, we will stop all schemes. We will also synchronize sanctions on them, – he said.
Zelensky stressed that this is not an easy job: sanctions rules vary around the world, but everyone has the same goal – to force Russia to end the war and limit its potential as much as possible.
“The sanctions are already depriving Russia of a future and should significantly complicate the daily life of the Russian system,” the president emphasized.
As the president reported, next week new decisions of Ukraine on synchronization of sanctions of the European Union are being prepared. Zelensky emphasized that all European packages against Russia should be implemented in Ukrainian jurisdiction. As well as our Ukrainian sanctions in the European Union, he added.
