The presidential decree stipulates restrictions for those sanctioned such as the blocking of assets, the limitation of commercial and financial activities, from transactions to transfer of capital or privatization of properties, the transfer of technology, the issuance of visas or the entry into Ukrainian territory.
Zelensky continues to insist on meeting face to face with Putin, but the Kremlin assures that negotiations must first be resumed, which, according to Moscow, have been abandoned by kyiv.
Russia considers that the longer Ukraine takes to return to the negotiating table, the weaker its position will be, since the Russian Army does not stop conquering new territories, as is the case with practically all of the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhia.
On the occasion of the 350th anniversary of Peter the Great, Putin assured that “almost nothing has changed” since the first Russian emperor fought the Swedes to regain access to the Baltic Sea at the beginning of the 18th century.
“Apparently, we have also had to recover and consolidate” territories, he stated, referring to the so-called “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Zelensky also introduced sanctions against 236 universities and higher education institutions.with which all exchange, contact and cooperation is suspended, and 261 rectors.
