At least one sanctions package will target individuals working with Russia’s military industry. These will include not only Russian citizens, but also, in particular, individuals from China.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on December 22.

“We are also preparing sanctions steps against those who justify Russian aggression and promote Russian influence through mass culture, as well as against athletes who use their sports careers and public attention to sports to glorify Russian aggression.

We are working with European institutions on the details of the 20th sanctions package of the European Union, and the main task is to ensure that European sanctions increase pressure on Putin’s energy assets and the oligarchs associated with him.

A new sanctions package from Canada is also being prepared — thank you for this work. Ukraine will continue the process of sanctions synchronization: the relevant decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and presidential decrees will follow soon. Glory to Ukraine!” — the President emphasized.
