Ukraine has imposed fresh sanctions against Russia and Belarus, which include sanctions against Russian potash producer Uralkali PJSC and Belarus state-owned potash producer OJSC Belaruskali, according to a Reuters report, citing the list published by Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council.
In total, Ukraine has implemented new sanctions against 182 Russian and Belarusian companies and three individuals. The sanctioned companies are primarily engaged in chemical production, the transportation of goods, and vehicle leasing.
Belarusian Railways, as well as transport leasing firms Russia’s VTB-Leasing and Gazprombank Leasing, have also been targeted in this latest round of sanctions.
Their assets in Ukraine are blocked, and their properties will be used for defense, the report cited Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying in a video address.
