Zelenskyy signed decrees on synchronizing Ukrainian sanctions with EU restriction packages

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed decrees synchronizing Ukrainian sanctions with the 15th, 16th, and 17th packages of anti-Russian restrictions imposed by the European Union, UNN reports.

We continue our sanctions work in Ukraine. Today, there is a package of sanctions against Chinese companies that, unfortunately, supply components for Russian weapons production, particularly for "Shaheds." There is clear evidence of this. Details are found in downed "Shaheds." We will also discuss this with our partners – so that they support Ukrainian sanctions. There is also a new decision regarding the synchronization of European sanctions in our jurisdiction – three more EU sanctions packages are fully in force in Ukraine. We will continue to strengthen our pressure.
- Zelenskyy said in his evening address.

According to Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Sanctions Policy, this refers to the synchronization of Ukrainian sanctions with the 15th, 16th, and 17th EU packages.

The 15th sanctions package covered individuals from Russia, Belarus, China, and other countries. Among the figures are Russian pilot Oleksandr Azarenkov, involved in the attack on the Okhmatdyt hospital, and the combat robot manufacturer Gumich LLC.

The 16th package concerns individuals from Russia, China, Turkey, and other countries. The list includes the "VOIN" Center, which is engaged in military-patriotic education in the occupied territories, and "Pivdenny Flot" LLC, which transports Russian oil with a shadow fleet.

The 17th package includes companies from Russia, China, Turkey, and other countries. Sanctioned entities include the gold mining company "Petropavlovsk" and the Chinese Skywalker Technology Co. Ltd, involved in drone production for Russia.

Ukraine emphasizes the importance of full sanctions synchronization among all partners of the sanctions coalition, Vlasiuk summarized.
