President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, through decree No. 36/2024, has implemented the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine dated January 29, 2024. This decision pertains to the approval of the Regulation on the State Register of Sanctions, according to the text on the official website of the head of state.
Under Article 107 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the President has decided to enact the corresponding decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC).
The implementation of the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, brought into effect by this Decree, is to be overseen by the Secretary of the NSDC.
The Decree comes into force from the date of its publication.
Sanctions by Ukraine
Since the onset of the full-scale war with Russia, Ukraine has implemented a series of sanctions against individuals and entities from the aggressor country and beyond. Restrictions have been imposed on companies and individuals involved in aggression against Ukraine.
On July 13, 2023, the Verkhovna Rada passed a bill proposing the establishment of a unified state register of sanctions. Through this, the government will have the authority to demand proper adherence to sanctions already imposed by Ukraine.
On July 26, President Zelenskyy signed the parliament-approved law into effect.
Additionally, last summer, the President approved the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) to impose sanctions on 18 companies associated with Russian oligarchs Mikhail Fridman, Petr Aven, and German Khan.
The head of state also introduced restrictions against 190 individuals and 290 legal entities, including the Georgian airline, Georgian Airways.
