The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andrii Sybiha, has announced the maximum synchronization of national sanctions with EU sanction packages.
“The time has come to consolidate a single and strong sanctions fist and hit Russia’s war budget with full force… In Ukraine, we diligently align our national sanctions with those of our allies. In recent weeks, we have quickly synchronized previous EU sanctions packages. This work continues. We also take steps together with our allies to close loopholes and disrupt Russia’s access to technology. The next weeks must see maximum synchronization of all partners’ sanctions against Russia to increase the cost of war for the aggressor. We are actively working with partners to achieve this,” stated Sybiha.
On 8th July, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, signed three decrees imposing sanctions: Decree No.471/2025, Decree No 427/205 and Decree No397/305. These new sanctions brought Ukraine’s sanctions list into line with the decisions of the European Union.
It can be assumed that this synchronization of EU and Ukrainian sanctions is bilateral in nature and the EU will add those against whom Ukraine imposed sanctions to its list.
