Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) has officially imposed sanctions on the fifth president, Petro Poroshenko, three businessmen, and a former MP. They will be stripped of their awards, their assets will be blocked, and their travel will be restricted.

The sanctions were imposed by President Zelenskyy's decree No. 81/2025. The document refers to the application of personal sanctions against:

• MP Petro Poroshenko;

• Ihor Kolomoiskyi, former co-owner of Privatbank;

• billionaire Kostiantyn Zhevago;

• former MP Viktor Medvedchuk.

The restrictive measures are lifelong and include:

• deprivation of state awards of Ukraine and other forms of recognition;
• blocking of assets – temporary deprivation of the right to use and dispose of assets belonging to an individual or legal entity, as well as assets in respect of which such a person may directly or indirectly (through other individuals or legal entities) perform actions identical in content to the exercise of the right to dispose of them;

"The billions that were earned by actually selling Ukraine, Ukrainian interests, and Ukrainian security must be blocked and must work to protect Ukraine and Ukrainians. And this will happen. Obviously," President Zelenskyy emphasized at the NSDC meeting.

The decision was made after telephone conversations between the president and his American counterpart, Donald Trump. Zelenskyy noted that they discussed diplomatic, military, and economic issues. The White House chief also informed him of what Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin had told him, with whom he also held talks.

As OBOZ.UA previously reported, Petro Poroshenko called the NSDC decision unconstitutional and politically motivated, and the restrictions absolutely illegal. He accused the authorities of "dealing a colossal blow to internal unity."
