Volodymyr Zelenskyy has ordered the extension of sanctions that are about to expire

He announced this following a meeting on Ukraine's sanctions policy.

‘It is important that the pressure is truly effective. We expect the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other state institutions to be proactive in supporting this work,’ the president said.

He also reported that five sanctions decisions were introduced in September:

against individuals who assist the russian military-industrial complex, shadow fleet, and energy sector;

against propagandists;

against pro-russian figures from Moldova;

against individuals who serve the occupier in the temporarily occupied Crimea;

british sanctions were synchronised in Ukrainian jurisdiction.

In total, 166 individuals and 127 legal entities were subject to sanctions.

Separately, Zelensky noted the sanctions imposed by the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. ‘Everything that allows the russian federation to continue its aggression’ was blocked: individuals and legal entities, companies, price caps, and shadow fleet tankers.

‘Each of these packages takes into account our proposals and sanctions that have already been implemented. It is important that we have this kind of coordination. We expect the 19th package of EU sanctions to be adopted as soon as possible. We are also working with the US on further sanctions pressure,’ the president stressed.
