Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk has said his government is introducing sanctions against 65 companies.

"The sanctions passed to the NSDC (National Security and Defense Council) concern 65 companies, mainly with Russian property and Russian residents, who support and finance terrorism and are directly involved in crimes committed on Ukrainian territory," Yatseniuk told a press conference in Kyiv on Friday after a behind-closed-doors Cabinet meeting.
