Zelensky approves new sanctions against Russia and its allies
20 September 23:19
On September 20, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed decrees on three new packages of sanctions against Russia and Russian proxies who are helping the war in Ukraine and destabilizing Moldova.
This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian", citing Zelensky’s statement.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine expects the adoption of the 19th package of sanctions against Russia in the European Union and is synchronizing Ukrainian sanctions with European ones.
“Russia’s energy resources are limited. So is the infrastructure of the shadow fleet: there will be new pressure. Also, cryptocurrency schemes that Russians use to circumvent sanctions: Europe will counteract,” the president assured.
Zelenskyy added that Ukrainian proposals to the EU sanctions package have been mostly taken into account. Ukraine is now awaiting sanctions steps against Russia to be taken by the United States.
In the meantime, three decrees have been signed on the application of Ukrainian sanctions – against Russian propagandists, against those doing business in the temporarily occupied territory, and against those contributing to the destabilization of Moldova. The last step is a demonstration of Ukraine’s interest in a stable and successful Moldova.
As a reminder, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine expects Europe and the United States to tighten sanctions against Russia. Delaying this process slows down the pressure on Moscow.
