“I have signed several new sanctions decisions.

“We continue synchronizing partner sanctions within Ukraine’s jurisdiction, and the EU’s 19th sanctions package against Russia for this war is now in effect in Ukraine. We are also working to extend European Union sanctions into the jurisdictions of other European countries outside the EU.

“This is a strong package, targeting, in particular, Russian resource exports and schemes for supplying electronic components to Russia. And the overall impact of the 19th package on curbing Russia’s income is estimated at no less than tens of billions of euros annually.

“We are also enacting our new sanctions targeting Russian entities involved in resource extraction in the Arctic, which contributes to funding Russia’s ability to wage war. We already know that our partners will follow suit by incorporating our proposals into their own sanctions packages. I thank everyone who is helping.

“I have also instructed preparations for new decisions by the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine based on relevant submissions regarding entities in Russian propaganda and military production, as well as collaborationists.

“We will also issue a sanctions response to Russia’s measures against the Prime Minister of Ukraine and other government officials. Of course, unlike global sanctions, Russian sanctions do not pose any real problems.

“But at a time when the majority of the world is working with us to do everything possible to end this war, any Russian escalation, including propaganda actions, deserves a proper and tangible response. Russia must end this war, which it itself started and continues to prolong.

“And concrete steps, along with meaningful diplomacy, are needed to achieve this. Any other scenario will mean increased pressure on all key figures in Russia. Glory to Ukraine!” he added
