President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposes to the Verkhovna Rada to approve the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of May 27, which provides for the application of sectoral special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions) to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
This is stated in the draft resolution No. 9333, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
The decision of the NSDC provides for the application of sanctions on Iran for a period of 50 years, in particular, a complete ban on trade operations, stopping the transit of resources, flights and transportation on the territory of Ukraine, and preventing the withdrawal of capital by residents of Iran.
The Cabinet of Ministers, together with the Foreign Intelligence Service, the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Bank and other state bodies, in accordance with their competence, must ensure the implementation and monitoring of the effectiveness of sanctions against Iran.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine must inform the competent authorities of the European Union, the United States of America and other countries about the application of sanctions.
The relevant decision of the NSDC was implemented by Presidential Decree No. 308/2023 of May 27, 2023.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, John Kirby, the strategic communications coordinator of the U.S. National Security Council, said that since August 2022, the aggressor country of Russia has received more than 400 Iranian Shahed-131 or Shahed-136 kamikaze drones, which the Russian occupation army uses for strikes on Ukraine.
