22 August 2024, 10:20 AM

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has enacted a decision by Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) to extend sanctions against individuals and entities collaborating with Russia.

The presidential decree continues sanctions for another 10 years against pro-Russian media figures Ihor Huzhva and Anatoliy Shariy, as well as Denis Pushilin, leader of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, a terrorist organization. The sanctions also target affiliated companies and assets.

The order specifically blocks internet access to websites associated with the sanctioned individuals, including Strana.ua and its subdomains, Shariy.net, the Shariy Political Party website, and their respective social media pages. Internet providers are instructed to enforce these restrictions.
