According to Russia’s Sputnik news agency, these measures will remain in place indefinitely unless Kiev decides to lift them.

“With Russia wanting to fight in Ukraine to the last Russian, it is clear that sanctions must be increased further,” Ukraine’s foreign minister said. Dmytro Kuleba called on Western countries to increase pressure on Moscow before Mr. Zelensky signed sanctions on Russian leaders.

Russia has not yet commented on Ukraine’s move. According to observers, it is highly likely that Moscow will respond to Kiev’s move in a “reciprocal” way, which means it will impose the same order on Mr. Zelensky.

In the first weeks after Russia sent troops into Ukraine, President Zelensky called for a face-to-face meeting with his Russian counterpart.

However, this idea has so far not been implemented, as Moscow has argued that any presidential meetings can only take place after lower-level negotiations have been successful.
