President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council on new anti-Russian sanctions. 200 people fell under them, including two assistants to the President of Russia - Yuri Ushakov and the HEAD of the State Legal Department under the President Larisa Brycheva.
The list also included Igor Borovkov, who until December held the post of deputy head of the government apparatus - head of the apparatus of the collegium of the Military Industrial Commission.
In addition, the list includes Deputy General Directors of Rosatom Yuri Yakovlev, Kirill Komarov, Alexander Lokshin, Oleg Shubin, Konstantin Denisov, Andrei Nikipelov, Sergei Novikov, Sergei Obozov, Yuri Olenin, Ilya Rebrov, Vyacheslav Ruksha and Nikolai Spassky (sanctions against the head state corporations of Alexei Likhachev were introduced last May for a period of three years).

The sanctions also affected other employees of the Russian nuclear industry. They imply the blocking of assets, the restriction of trading operations (complete cessation), the prevention of the withdrawal of capital from Ukraine, and other measures. The document states that these restrictions will be in effect for 50 years.
Restrictive measures against Rosatom itself and its subsidiaries were taken a week earlier. At the same time, sanctions were imposed against the Nuclear Power Industry Complex, Atommash-Service, and the state-owned Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (created last October on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin) - a total of 200 companies. In response, Rosatom stated that "nuclear energy should be out of the political conjuncture." Likhachev considered that the measures "have neither meaning nor consequences."
Last November, Le Monde reported that the EU authorities are not yet seeking to impose sanctions on Russia's nuclear industry. Poland and Lithuania insist on this, REUTERS wrote at the beginning of the year. Bulgaria and Hungary said they would not support such a measure.
