The Foreign Minister added that Ukraine is observing the growth of trade turnover of Central Asian countries, as well as the fact that some countries are helping Russia circumvent sanctions.
We are closely monitoring the growth of trade turnover of individual countries, primarily Central Asia. We see that some capitals are helping the Russian aggressor circumvent sanctions. Therefore, we will take the most active position, we will investigate the further re-export of these countries to Russia, primarily dual-use products.

There will be two directions here. First, sanctioning specific companies. Second, working with European partners to strengthen control over dual-use goods.
