(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, this was reported on the President's website .

In particular, sanctions have been imposed on six propagandists, including Alexander Rogers, who publicly denied the existence of Ukraine, called for changes to Ukraine's territory and state borders, disseminated anti-Ukrainian publications, and justified Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, and Russian public figure Katerina Mizulina, a public supporter of Russian aggression against Ukraine.

Ukraine has also imposed sanctions against 11 public and political figures from Moldova who promote pro-Russian narratives and justify Russia's aggression. Among them are Vasyle Bolia, who promotes the Russian Federation's foreign policy in the media, and Dmitry Konstantinov, who heads the People's Assembly of Gagauzia and openly repeats Russian propaganda.

As noted, this decision is an important signal of support for the Moldovan people on their path to European integration.

The third sanctions decision concerns 66 individuals and 13 legal entities, including officials of the occupation authorities in the temporarily occupied Crimea, representatives of the Russian judicial authorities involved in human rights violations in Crimea, individuals involved in the dissemination of Russian propaganda, and organizations involved in assisting the Russian army.

This list includes, in particular, Valentina Lavryk, the so-called Minister of Education, Science, and Youth of the temporarily occupied Crimea, who is implementing Russian educational standards and militarizing the educational process, as well as judges Vasyl Zlotnikov and Denys Izotenko, who have handed down repressive sentences against Crimean residents.

It is noted that these decisions are synchronized with the policies of international partners and are aimed at blocking Russia's resources, protecting human rights in the occupied territories, and countering Russian propaganda.

Decrees No. 694/202 , No. 695/2025 , and No. 696/2025 of September 20, 2025, on the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine on the application of personal special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions) are published on the President's website.
