MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier this month, Ukraine expanded its blacklist of sanctioned individuals and companies to include around a hundred legal entities and 388 individuals, mostly state officials, politicians and journalists based in Russia and other countries.
Sanctions defined year-long entry bans into Ukraine and asset freezes.
"A decision is now being taken on introducing additional sanctions against Russian companies. Details to come," the cabinet said on Twitter.
Kiev imposed economic and citizen sanctions on Russia last year, alongside many Western countries. The move followed Crimea's March 2014 reunification with Russia in a referendum which saw over 96 percent of local residents voting to leave Ukraine for Russia.
