Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk has announced that his government has proposed imposing sanctions on 172 citizens of Russia and other countries.
“The Cabinet of Ministers will submit to NSDC [National Security and Defense Council] a list of 172 citizens of Russia and citizens of other states who have been financing terrorism, supported the annexation of Crimea and encroached on the territorial integrity of Ukraine,” he said at a press briefing in Kyiv on Friday, Aug. 8.
The government also proposes to introduce new sanctions in order not to allow modernization of the Russian Armed Forces.
“The new resolution, being initiated by the Ukrainian government, will introduce additional measures, which will not give the opportunity…to Russia, country-aggressor, to modernize its armed forces,” he said at a briefing in Kyiv.
The premier reminded that a month ago the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine banned defense and technical cooperation with Russia.
