Ukraine to Prepare New Sanctions against Russia

The Ukrainian Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko in an interview with ICTV said that he had prepared proposals for the introduction of new sanctions against Russia. He noted that he sent the corresponding letter to the President Petro Poroshenko and the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexander Turchinov, ria.ru reports. According to Lutsenko, Kyiv should apply “to certain Russian individuals and legal entities personal, special economic and other restrictive measures” due to the incident in the Kerch Strait. In particular, he proposed to block the assets of Russian representatives on the territory of Ukraine “to complete de-occupation of the country”. Lutsenko said that it was necessary to consider the introduction of sanctions against Russian individuals and legal entities, since “in some areas they have a monopoly” in Ukraine. “I am sure it is time to terminate doing business for Russians in the country”, he concluded.
