Quote: "There is another sanction step of our state against the nuclear industry of the terrorist state. By my decree, I put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to impose sanctions on two hundred people working for the Russian nuclear industry.
We are doing everything to make sanctions against the Russian nuclear industry part of global sanctions against Russia for the war.
It's not easy. There is some resistance. But there was a time when other restrictions against Russia seemed difficult to implement as well. They did. Now they are already in place. For example, on oil and oil products from Russia. All elements of the Russian system that are involved in the war, in providing terror and financing aggression must be isolated from the global system. This will be done!"
Background: Zelenskyy on 12 February signed the decree on the implementation of the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on the introduction of personal sanctions against 199 Russian citizens and one traitorous Ukrainian.
