Zelensky: Even more extensive sanctions packages are on the way

Ukraine will continue taking its sanctions steps, and more extensive sanctions packages are on the way.

“We will continue our sanctions steps, and new sanctions packages are on the way – even more extensive,” President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address.

He noted that every person who works with Russia will be blocked, and Ukrainian sanctions are either already synchronized or will be synchronized with sanctions imposed by the free world.

“When Russia started this aggression, they looked at the world as if they were looking at themselves in a mirror. They thought that supposedly everyone in the world was as cynical and despised people in the same way as the masters of Russia do. But the world is different – the world helps us protect life. And anyone who goes against the world will become marginal. Russia will gain nothing and lose everything. Together with those who somehow try to help it in terror,” the President said.

In addition, Zelensky thanked Japan, Finland, Germany, Canada, and Iceland for helping Ukraine this week. "We will also make next week strong from the point of view of our cooperation with partners. We don't lose a single week," the Head of State added.

As reported, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky enacted by his decree the NSDC's decision on the imposition of personal special economic and other restrictive measures on 51 individuals and 220 legal entities.
