By KYIV. Jan 9 (Interfax-Ukraine) – President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said decisions on sanctions against persons who justify the war or help to wage it will continue to be made.
"Today I signed decrees on the implementation of the decisions of the National Security and Defense Council – a regular meeting was held. First, we have approved the overall work plan of the National Security and Defense Council for this year. It will definitely be no less powerful than in previous years, and the main priority is the security of our independence, strengthening our ability to defend ourselves with all the steps that are necessary, with all the means that work," he said in a video statement on Saturday.
Second, he said, "there is an intermediate result in the work of many citizens of Russia and those associated with it who justify the war, help to wage it or glorify the terrorist state. Today there is the first such list of sanctions – there will be the next decision on sanctions against such persons."
"Everyone whose voice sounds in unison with the roar of Russian artillery will be isolated from the civilized world," Zelensky said.
