Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a new package of sanctions targeting Russia's financial sector
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a new package of sanctions aimed at Russia's financial sector, in an effort to target Moscow's war reserves, inform dpa and Agerpres.
The sanctions affect not only representatives of the banking sector in Russia, but also the Moscow Stock Exchange, which is now subject to punitive measures. "Today, our state is taking a new step with sanctions against all those who fuel Russian aggression," Zelenskiy said in his video speech broadcast Sunday night in Kyiv. Sanctions, he said, are the basis for Western allies to adopt punitive measures as well. Volodymyr Zelensky also said that Ukraine's tenth sanctions package is already in the works. "We are working with our partners to strengthen it," he said. In addition, the foreign ministers of the European Union member states plan to discuss this topic on Monday in Brussels. Ukraine's president called on all responsible states to join "sanctions against terror."
