Quote from Zelenskyy: “I have just signed a decree enacting the NSDC’s decision on sanctions.
We are blocking propagandists working for Russia, individuals who have sided with the enemy, and those aiding Russia in continuing the war.
Additionally, we are continuing to revoke state honours – only those who truly dedicate their lives to Ukraine deserve the title of Hero of Ukraine. We are also preparing new sanctions, which will be announced soon.”
Details: The decree states that the president has stripped politicians and media professionals of their awards and frozen their assets, including politicians Nestor Shufrych, Yurii Boyko, Yevheniia Muraieva, Oleh Voloshyn, Petro Symonenko and the former deputy editor-in-chief of Strana.Ua Svitlana Kriukova.
There are 18 sanctioned individuals in total.
