According to the head of state, all these efforts are part of countering the destabilization of the situation in Ukraine.
Zelensky drew attention to the fact that last week, official Brussels synchronized Ukrainian sanctions against six Russian propagandists in its jurisdiction.
Work is also underway on the 20th EU sanctions package. We expect it to be adopted at the end of February. We can already see that many of our proposals have been taken into account. Thank you to everyone who helps! — emphasized the Ukrainian leader.
