Sanctions Hit Russian Giants — Ukraine Acts in Unison with the United States
“We are continuing our sanctions work — today we have two new decisions,” President Zelensky stated.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a new stage of sanctions policy against Russia, noting that Kyiv has synchronized its actions with the United States. As reported by ThePublic.info, citing a statement from the president’s official Telegram channel, Ukraine has imposed restrictions on major Russian energy corporations — “Rosneft,” “Lukoil,” and their affiliated enterprises.
According to Zelensky, the current measures are already “depriving Russia’s war machine of funding” and must be continued. The sanctions aim to limit Russia’s access to resources used for the manufacturing and supply of weapons.
In addition to targeting the Russian energy sector, Ukraine is introducing sanctions against individuals involved in the deployment of drones used for systematic attacks on the Ukrainian population. These restrictions are being closely coordinated with international partners to strengthen their effectiveness and prevent any attempts to evade them.
The president also outlined the key objectives of Ukraine’s sanctions policy by the end of the year, including:
-
further synchronization of actions with partner states;
-
preparation of the European Union’s 20th sanctions package;
-
tightening measures against Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet”;
-
restrictions on Russian military production;
-
countering collaborators and propagandists.
As ThePublic.info reports, these steps are expected to become one of the most crucial tools in weakening Russia’s economic capabilities and reducing its ability to continue the war.
