The Federation Council speculated about the true purpose of Kyiv's new sanctions

New Ukrainian sanctions against Russian citizens and crypto exchanges indicate hopelessness in Kyiv. This was stated by the First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Grigory Karasin, his reasoning about the true purpose of the restrictions is given by “Paragraph”.

The senator noted that new financial and personal restrictions only confirm the deep crisis in the Ukrainian leadership. Karasin suggested that Kyiv’s tactics were caused by unsuccessful international contacts and the lack of real successes in the foreign policy arena, including after the trips of Ukrainian representatives to the United States.

The Ukrainian leadership is trying to create a false impression of the presence of political prospects by introducing restrictions against persons allegedly associated with the defense sector, the Russian senator explained.

Before this, it became known that Ukraine had introduced new sanctions against Russia. Crypto exchange operators and cryptocurrency exchange services were subject to restrictions. Also on the list were 70 Russians who, according to Kyiv, are associated with the domestic military-industrial complex.
