The second decree imposes restrictions on a further 28 foreign nationals who are assisting the occupation authorities in Ukraine’s temporarily occupied territories.
The president stressed that all those who support Russia’s war and occupation “must feel real global pressure”.
According to the decrees, the list of individuals includes:
- Lyudmila Ocheretna (Putina), the ex-wife of Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin
- Artur Ocheretny, her new husband
- Mikhail Putin, a cousin of Vladimir Putin
- Mikhail Shelomov, a nephew of the Russian leader
- Igor Zelensky, a Russian ballet dancer, the ex-husband of one of Putin’s daughters
- other Kremlin-linked figures and business people involved in financing the war.
The sanctions provide for asset freezes, a ban on entry to Ukraine, restrictions on trade operations and transit, a ban on participation in privatisation and state procurement, and other restrictive measures for 10 years.
The sanctioned Russian companies, which are listed separately, include:
- Arnest Group (cosmetics and domestic cleaning products manufacturer)
- Baltika Brewing Company (brewing)
- VG Invest
- Vmeste Group of Companies
- Unipro (energy)
- Oteko (logistics and oil infrastructure)
These companies are now subject to asset freezes, trade restrictions, bans on technology transfers and participation in joint projects, and other sanctions, all for a period of 10 years.
Zelenskyy emphasised that Ukraine is working with its international partners to align sanctions across jurisdictions to ensure that all accomplices of Russia are held accountable for their actions against Ukraine and its people.
