The 13th and 14th EU sanctions packages are now fully aligned. They are now 100% Ukraine\u2019s sanctions as well. I approved this today.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement:<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>We will also fully synchronise our sanctions with the European sanctions package targeting the Iranian regime. It includes many individuals and companies \u2013 not only those involved in military production or external terror schemes against neighbours in the region, but also those responsible for internal repression in Iran. This is one of the most brutal regimes in the world, and it\u2019s no surprise that Putin has found common ground with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Details:<\/strong> Zelenskyy stressed that the work on synchronisation is ongoing and said he expects Ukraine\u2019s state institutions to &#8220;move swiftly&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>&#13;<\/p>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">On 19 June, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine would synchronise its sanctions with those of its international partners and intensify pressure on Russia\u2019s energy sector.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The EU failed to agree on its 18th package of sanctions against Russia but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pravda.com.ua\/eng\/news\/2025\/06\/26\/7518944\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">extended existing sectoral sanctions<\/a> for another six months.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">On 27 June, Zelenskyy issued a decree <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pravda.com.ua\/eng\/news\/2025\/06\/27\/7519053\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">enacting the NSDC decision<\/a> to synchronise Ukraine\u2019s sanctions pressure on Russia with that of its international partners.<\/li>\n<p>&#13;\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Support Ukrainska Pravda on <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/pravdaua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Patreon<\/strong><\/a><strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
