Sanctions the European Union imposed against former Ukrainian officials are in danger of being lifted because Ukaine’s lacklustre criminal investigations have stalled.
The list of 22 officials whose assets in Europe were frozen include
former President Viktor Yanukovych and his close associates. European
Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has already questioned EU
sanctions against Russia, but did not comment on the sanctioned
Ukrainians during her visit to Kyiv on Dec. 16-17. In Ukraine,
Prosecutor General Vitaliy Yarema has been heavily criticized for
failing to produce results.
