Ukraine: EU sanctions target eight more individuals

The European Union has decided to impose restrictive measures on an additional eight individuals for actively supporting actions and implementing policies that undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. The decision brings to 185 people and 48 entities the number of those targeted by sanctions.

Those added to the EU sanctions list include law enforcement officials – judges, prosecutors and security officers – responsible for enforcing Russian law in the illegally-annexed Crimea and Sevastopol. Those individuals have taken biased decisions in politically-motivated cases, and prosecuted or oppressed opponents of the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol.

The measures include an asset freeze and a travel ban, which prevents them from entering or transiting through the EU.
