A reminder:
On September 30, the National Security and Defense Council decided to introduce new packages of sanctions against individuals and legal entities involved in unleashing a war of aggression against Ukraine or supporting the Putin regime.
After the sanctions are approved by the relevant decision of the national security and Defense Council, the documents are sent to the Office of the President, after which the head of state imposes sanctions by decree. So far, the relevant decree of President Volodymyr Zelensky has not been published.
On August 30, 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine approved proposals for the application of personal sanctions regarding the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Kirill, and seven other representatives of this church.
