The European Union has extended the list of Ukrainians whose assets within the European Union will be frozen and who are prohibited from entering the European Union.

Ex-deputy premier of Ukraine Serhiy Arbuzov, MP Yuriy Ivaniuschenko, ex-income and tax minister Oleksandr Klymenko and Ukraine's ex-energy and coal industry minister, Eduard Stavytsky, have been added to the list.

These people have been identified as being responsible for misappropriation of state funds in Ukraine, and their assets within the European Union will be frozen.
