Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made statements regarding the scope of the economic and political restrictions imposed on Russia and the joint efforts carried out with the European Union (EU).

Announcing the new sanctions decisions, Zelensky said: “We continue to synchronize our sanctions with the European Union. I have signed a decree imposing sanctions on companies that service the Russian tanker fleet and transport sanctioned oil. There are also new sanctions targeting Kremlin propagandists and criminals involved in cyberattacks against Ukraine and our partners.”

Stating that they are countering the Russian regime’s disinformation and cyber operations, Zelensky said: “We oppose every attempt by the Russian regime to destabilize the situation in Ukraine. Last week, the European Union simultaneously implemented sanctions against six Russian propagandists operating against Ukraine within its jurisdiction.”

Sharing his expectations regarding the upcoming sanctions package, Zelensky concluded his remarks as follows:

“Work on the EU’s 20th sanctions package is ongoing. We expect it to be adopted by the end of February. We already see that many of our proposals have been taken into account. Thank you to everyone who is helping!”
