Ukraine preparing sanctions list of persons involved in torture of 11 illegally detained Ukrainians
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said Ukraine is preparing a new list of persons against whom sanctions should be imposed in connection with their involvement in the torture of 11 Ukrainian political prisoners.
"We won't limit the list to those involved in the Savchenko case. The agenda includes preparing a new list of sanctions against persons involved in the torture of other 11 Ukrainian political prisoners," he said in a joint statement with European Commissioner for Humanitarian Aid and Crisis Management Christos Stylianides in Kyiv.
Poroshenko said that at the talks in Brussels on March 17 the parties discussed coordination of efforts for international pressure on the Russian Federation in order to secure the immediate release of the illegally detained Ukrainians.
