Ukraine is doing everything possible to ensure that sanctions against the russian nuclear industry become part of global sanctions against the russian federation. This was said by President Volodymyr Zelensky in his evening address on February 12.
"There is another sanctions step by our state against the nuclear industry of the terrorist state. By my decree, I put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on sanctions against 200 people working for the russian nuclear industry".
We are doing everything to ensure that sanctions against the russian nuclear industry become part of the global sanctions against russia for the war", - he said.
The President stressed that this is not easy, because there is some resistance.
"But there was a time when other restrictions against russia seemed difficult. They gave up. Now they are already in effect. For example, on oil and oil products from russia. All elements of the russian system involved in the war, in providing terror and financing aggression, must be isolated from the world system, and so it will be!
Moreover, this is true for those who took part in the seizure and illegal actions at our Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Russian radiation blackmail of the world must be punished", - Zelensky stressed.
