Zelenskyy promises new sanctions packages: Who will be targeted

Ukraine is preparing new sanctions packages against Russia's “shadow” tanker fleet.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced in his evening address on April 10.

“We are preparing our own Ukrainian sanctions packages — with appropriate justifications from the security services. These are strong packages targeting the "shadow" tanker fleet that Moscow uses to finance the war, as well as war propagandists — those who are effectively trying to undermine our defense and help Russia — and certain officials whose names are well known to all Ukrainians and who had influence,” Zelenskyy said.

According to him, relevant decrees are currently being prepared, and everything will proceed in stages.

“We are also working to synchronize our sanctions packages with the decisions of our partners, primarily in the European Union and other powerful jurisdictions around the world,” he added.
