President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed two decrees enacting decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine on the application of personal special economic and other restrictive measures, his press service has reported.
The sanctions, which were implemented in response to the actions of Kirill Dmitriev and other high-ranking Russian officials, are designed to impose a range of restrictions on these individuals and entities. These measures are part of Ukraine’s broader strategy to counter Russian aggression and support its national security interests.
According to the Ukrainian press service, the decrees outline specific measures that will be taken against the sanctioned individuals and organizations, including the prohibition of certain financial transactions, restrictions on travel, and potential asset freezes. The exact nature of the sanctions is not disclosed in the report, but the measures are expected to have a significant impact on the targeted individuals and entities.
This action marks another step in Ukraine’s efforts to isolate Russia economically and diplomatically, as part of its response to the ongoing conflict. The sanctions are also intended to send a clear message to other countries and entities that may be considering supporting Russia’s actions.
