In view of the ongoing Russian offensive war, Ukraine has added hundreds of Russian companies and individuals to its sanctions list. Internet companies Yandex and VK are among more than 240 affected companies, according to decrees published by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday. The daughter of Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Xenia Shoigu, is also on the list.
Among the more than 400 people sanctioned are many well-known athletes – including from the former Soviet Republic of Belarus, which is an ally of Russia. For example, those affected are no longer allowed to do business in Ukraine or are no longer allowed to enter the country. If they exist, their assets in Ukraine are often frozen as well. In many cases, however, the sanctions will mainly have symbolic value.
