Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has imposed sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and his allies. For example, they are no longer allowed to enter Ukraine. In addition, the assets of selected individuals must be frozen. However, the sanctions should not have a major impact, but rather be symbolic.
The travel ban against Russian President Vladimir Putin and his allies was imposed by decree. The presidential website shows that assets are also being frozen.
Town twinning with Minsk ended
Another measure concerns Belarus, which supports the war in Ukraine. Kiev has ended cooperation with the capital Minsk. “You can hardly call Minsk a partner city of Kiev. So nothing prevents us from making the decision to revoke the status of the capital of Belarus,” Kiev mayor and former world boxing champion Vitali Klitschko said on Thursday. Rockets would fly from Belarus to Ukrainian cities and towns. From there, Russian troops also invaded Ukraine.
Last year Russia used neighboring Belarus as a staging area against Ukraine. The end of the collaboration comes after 25 years and would have been decided by the city council.
According to the APA, the sanctions are rather symbolic.
