Thus, in particular, the Government suggested that the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine considers application of sanctions against Russian state-owned corporation Rosatom as one of key entities of the Russian economy and levers of influence and pressure in the issues of external policy of the aggressor state. And also against more than 350 related legal entities. It comes about enterprises and organizations being members of Rosatom and their subsidiaries located both in the territory of the aggressor state and beyond.
The same decision approved submission of the proposals regarding approval of sanctions against individuals being managers of state-owned corporation Rosatom, its enterprises, organizations and subsidiaries responsible for the implementation of the policy of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and taking direct part in the decision-making and implementation of nuclear terrorism acts in the territory of Ukraine to the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine for review.

“Decisions currently approved by the Government are a clear example of activation of Ukraine’s efforts on the sanctions front. The Inter-Departmental Working Group, designed to strengthen the efficiency of current sanctions and accelerate approval of new ones against persons involved in the aggression, started its work a few days ago. Coordination between ministries, departments, organizations involved in the development of sanctions will strengthen. The decisions on the restrictions will be adopted extremely quickly and without mercy towards enemies of our state”, said Yulia Svyrydenko.
