The sanctions, which are indefinite, include:

The Situation with Poroshenko

On February 12, the NSDC decided to impose sanctions against Petro Poroshenko, who is also a member of parliament.

Zelensky confirmed that the decision would be published the following day.

Poroshenko stated that individuals from Zelensky’s team were behind this move, accusing them of undermining unity.

Earlier, the Verkhovna Rada Committee recommended suspending Poroshenko for six months.

The “European Solidarity” party issued a statement about the possible suspension and outlined its supposed reasons.
