Ukraine’s Zelenskiy Imposes Sanctions on Former Press Secretary
The decree targets 10 Russian and Ukrainian individuals and includes 10-year asset freezes and trade restrictions, the presidency said.
- On Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy imposed sanctions on former press secretary Yuliia Mendel and nine others, accusing them of spreading Russian propaganda and supporting Russia's aggressive policy toward Ukraine.
- Since last year, Mendel has criticized Zelenskiy's record following corruption scandals involving members of the president's inner circle, prompting the government to include her in the restrictive measures.
- The decree imposes asset freezes and trade restrictions for 10 years on all 10 individuals, though the charges against them have not been tested in court.
- Writing on Facebook, Mendel called the sanctions "unconstitutional," adding that "Zelenskiy is imposing them on anyone who advocates for peace in Ukraine" while declining to address specific allegations.
- Ukraine previously sanctioned opposition politician Petro Poroshenko in 2025, with the domestic spy agency justifying the measure citing "national security" reasons for the asset freeze and capital withdrawal ban.
