Following the approval on April 1 of new restrictive measures against companies and people involved in working for the Russian war against Ukraine, the National Security and Defense Council will work to impose additional sanctions, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an evening address.

The head of our state clarified that the decrees on the imposition of restrictions, signed by him on Saturday, concern officials of the aggressor country, companies of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation, as well as collaborators. In total, we are talking about more than 650 sanctioned persons.

" And no one who helps terrorists, works for them, supplies or manufactures weapons for terror - no one will escape responsibility.. Blocking accomplices of terror, isolating a terrorist state, its defeat and trials - this is what awaits everyone who started and is waging a war against Ukraine and the international order,"
