Direct speech: “Today I signed new sanctions decisions. We are synchronizing our steps with Great Britain and extending the sanctions that have expired.
Advertising:
First: we continue sanctions against the former oligarch Dmytro Firtash and, within the limits of synchronization, apply sanctions against his close circle and the company controlled by him. All entities connected to Russia and its structures deserve to be blocked.”
Details: In addition, the president extended sanctions against Viktor Medvedchuk’s associate Taras Kozak and eight companies connected to him.
“Long before the start of full-scale Russian aggression, these individuals chose Russia for themselves, and therefore war. We will continue to oppose each such entity,” Zelenskyy added.
