The new law introduces sanctions against ships and aircraft that transport oil and petroleum products, as well as weapons and military personnel.
In addition, it is emphasized that the document amends the Law of Ukraine "On Sanctions" regarding the application of sanctions to vessels and aircraft whose activities create real and potential threats to the national interests, national security, territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
Thus, Volodymyr Zelenskyy ordered the Security Service of Ukraine and intelligence to promptly establish the facts of the use of such vessels.
It is also indicated that the State Register of Sanctions must include data on all entities, as well as vessels and aircraft, to which sanctions have been applied.
By the way, it recently became known that the Ukrainian authorities have imposed sanctions against Chinese companies whose components were found in the "shaheeds".
