MADRID, 2 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky has announced a new battery of sanctions that will affect about 650 new people and companies related to the defense industry.

"All those who help terrorists, work for them, who send or manufacture weapons for terrorist actions, no one will escape their responsibility," Zelensky said in his address to the nation this Saturday.

The actions approved by the National Security and Defense Council through two decrees affect more than 650 people and entities that are related to the arms trade in Russia, for "working for Russian aggression."

"They are workers of the aggressor state, of its arms industry, hundreds of companies and collaborators," explained the president.

On March 10, Zelenski announced the latest battery of sanctions, which affected 126 people and 287 legal entities, including many related to gambling and betting.
