NSDC decision on sanctions concerns over 400 individuals, over 90 legal entities – Poroshenko

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has said that the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC), which was taken on September 2, 2015, on extending sanctions against Russia concerns over 400 individuals and 90 legal entities who are responsible for criminal actions against Ukraine.

Poroshenko informed the European Union's Political and Security Committee (PSC) about the decision to extend the list of legal and business entities of Russia and other states that will face economic sanctions from Ukraine and other restrictive measures, the presidential press service reported on Wednesday.

"The president reported that these restrictive measures concern over 400 individuals and 90 legal entities that are responsible for committing crimes against our country," the report said, adding that the decision was clearly coordinated with Ukraine's partners in the EU, the United States, and another countries, to provide a proper response to Crimea's annexation and Russia's aggression in Donbas.
