 NewsRSSU.S. imposes sanctions on four pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine
21 of January 2022 г.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions against four Ukrainian politicians engaged in Russian government-directed influence activities to destabilize Ukraine, according to a statement posted on the agency's website on January 20.
"The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned four individuals engaged in Russian government-directed influence activities to destabilize Ukraine," the statement said. It added that the current restrictions are part of U.S. efforts to target purveyors of Russian disinformation. In particular, sanctions have been imposed against current Ukrainian MPs Taras Kozak and Oleh Voloshyn, members of the party led by Viktor Medvedchuk, who is already subject to U.S. sanctions for his role in undermining Ukrainian sovereignty in 2014. The Treasury Department said that Kozak, who controls several news channels in Ukraine, supported the Russian Federal Security Service's plan to denigrate senior members of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's inner circle, falsely accusing them of mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. He also used his news platforms to amplify false narratives around the 2020 U.S. elections. Отправить в:      другие новости
