The list of 35 sanctioned officials includes Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, and all members of Russia’s government and Security Council, including Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
“To implement the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine of June 9, 2022 “On the application of personal, special, economic, and other restrictive measures (sanctions).”
It is also accompanied by a relevant decision of the National Security and Defense Council with a list of representatives of the Russian leadership against whom sanctions are imposed.
This is a largely symbolic move, which bans those listed from entry to Ukraine, revokes visas and permits, and blocks their financial assets.
According to the decision of the National Security and Defense Council, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine should soon inform the competent authorities of the EU, the US and other countries about the application of sanctions and “raise before them the issue of similar restrictive measures.”
