Zelenskyy suggests new sanctions targeting ‘entities in third countries’ that help Russia
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine is preparing “sanctions packages” targeting “entities and schemes in third countries” that help Russia evade some of the sanctions.
In a briefing today, he also said that Ukraine was ready to move toward a ceasefire “as soon as possible”, if Russia was ready to take reciprocal steps to establish a lasting ceasefire of at least 30 days.
“We are preparing our sanctions packages – particularly targeting entities and schemes in third countries that, unfortunately, help Russia evade some of the sanctions,” he said.
“At the same time, we continue to strengthen our defence: we expect significant defence packages for Ukraine soon, along with decisions on further cooperation – cooperation with key countries during the war and in the post-war period.”
