I held a meeting on sanctions policy and our joint sanctions and other restrictive measures with partners against Russia. Specific decisions were agreed upon. First, we must achieve full synchronization between the sanctions of our state and those of our partners. Sanctions packages of the European Union and other global actors must also be fully mirrored by Ukraine’s national sanctions decisions. Second, we are continuing our pressure policy on Russia’s tanker fleet. I instructed to expand sanctions to include the captains of these vessels as well as Russian terminals involved in oil shipments. Appropriate measures must also be synchronized with our partners. We are documenting evidence that the same oil tankers are being used by both Russia and Iran to finance the war. Separately, we are working on imposing sanctions against gas carriers that Russia plans to use in its projects. Third, we reviewed new sanctions pathways aimed at making it more difficult for Russia to prolong the war. In particular, this concerns financial instruments, cryptocurrencies, payment schemes, and the supply of components and equipment used for weapons production to Russia. I instructed to expand the prospects for parliamentary diplomacy, engagement with civil society leaders, and the corporate sector to support new sanctions decisions. Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, intelligence services, and the National Bank of Ukraine must ensure more tangible results in applying sanctions pressure on Russia and its accomplices.
