“The US and the EU decided to impose new sanctions against the Russian Federation, and we cannot take these initiatives to our strategic partners. It is therefore entrusted to the initiators in accordance with the legislation the imposition of sanctions, respectively, that the Cabinet of Ministers, SBU and national Bank to make appropriate proposals to us. As soon as those proposals are made, the national security Council will decide on the extension of the list of personal special economic and other restrictive measures – sanctions against individuals and legal entities of the Russian Federation”, – said Turchinov at a briefing after the meeting of the NSDC on Monday.
