The new set of restrictions was imposed against almost 150 legal entities and individuals operating in Russia’s aviation infrastructure.

Another package of sanctions concerns enemy accomplices.

"It is the duty of all Ukrainian representatives to ensure that our sanctions are synchronized with global ones," the president emphasized.
