President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed a decree to impose sanctions on entities involved in the illegal export of Ukrainian grain. The National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine has decided to sanction 13 seagoing vessels, 11 Russian citizens, and 28 legal entities. These sanctions target vessels registered under the flags of Russia, Panama, Belize, and St. Kitts and Nevis.
The sanctions also extend to the owners of these vessels, their captains, and the companies involved in the illegal export of Ukrainian grain from temporarily occupied territories. Ukraine will share necessary information with its partners to coordinate sanctions globally. The illegal export of Ukrainian grain must have consequences for all involved, from companies and owners to captains and vessels.
International partners are expected to prevent these goods from entering their markets, according to Presidential Advisor and Commissioner for Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk.
