I Have Just Signed a New Sanctions Package – Special Sanctions Targeting Numerous Russian Financial Schemes – Address by the President

Sanctioning regulations vary around the world – but we all share a common goal: to compel russia to stop the war and to severely restrict its capabilities. Sanctions are already depriving russia of its future, and they must significantly complicate the daily functioning of the russian system. We are also preparing new Ukrainian decisions on synchronization with EU sanctions – every European sanctions package against russia must be implemented in Ukrainian jurisdiction. Just as our Ukrainian sanctions must be implemented in EU jurisdiction.

President’s Address to the Participants of the Gala Dinner Marking the Start of Denmark’s Presidency of the EU Council

We all understand that russia is not just some dangerous neighbor, that much is obvious. It’s something more deliberate – an anti-European project. Everyone in Europe can clearly see this – russia invests in everything that goes against our European way of life. That’s why we must not let them win – not in this war, and not in any part of our future. We need biting sanctions against russia. We need steady defense support for Ukraine.
