The Group of Synchronization of Sanctions Measures

On October 12, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Great Britain united to synchronize lists of citizens and companies involved in war crimes against Ukraine

Today in Strasbourg, a joint statement of Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Great Britain, members of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, was signed on the synchronization of sanction lists of individuals and legal entities involved in military aggression against Ukraine and its people. According to their current information, such lists are compiled by 3 parties — Ukraine, the USA and Great Britain. This causes lists to become desynchronized.

"The military aggression against Ukraine is the result of the collective actions by the political, military and civilian classes of Russia, often supported by powerful business owners," declare the founders of the initiative at the Council of Europe.

Creating a monitoring and synchronization group will improve the coverage of introducing sanctions against Russia and citizens-collaborators involved in crimes against Ukrainians.

"We, founders of the initiative, aim to synchronize and coordinate all these sanctions lists."

Currently, the general list consists of 1.940 people involved in military lawlessness against the Ukrainian people.
