Zelensky has imposed new sanctions via the National Security and Defense Council, targeting Boyko, Shufrich, Kryukov, and Murayev.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, announced that he has signed a decree to implement the National Security and Defense Council's decision on sanctions. This is stated in the text of the decree published on the official website.
"I have just signed a decree that empowers the NSDC's decision on sanctions. We are blocking propagandists working for Russia, individuals who have sided with the enemy, and those who assist Russia in continuing the war.
