Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine
According to the head of state, we are talking about individuals and legal entities who conduct business in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine, in particular in Crimea.
Also, those who help justify the Russian aggression, consider it the norm to earn money in the occupation, and pay taxes to the occupier will be hit by sanctions.
And today is just the beginning of a larger work on sanctions against such individuals. We have information from special services — we will react in principle. The next sanctions decisions will be made soon. We are identifying all the schemes that are used in favor of the occupier, and therefore — against Ukraine, and blocking them.
As Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted, he and his team are actively working to fully synchronize Ukrainian sanctions with the decisions of allies.
Justice must prevail in all jurisdictions and realistically limit all those who chose Russia and war, the Ukrainian leader added.
