NSDC imposes sanctions on Medvedchuk and his wife

The National Security and Defense Council has imposed sanctions on one of the leaders of the pro-Russian party, OPZZH, Viktor Medvedchuk, and his wife, Oksana Marchenko.

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksii Danilov stated this at a briefing.

"Sanctions are imposed on all property owned by Medvedchuk," he said.

The sanctions list includes:

• Konstantin Vatskovskyi, a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• Vitalii Donechenko, a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• Natalia Lavreniuk, a citizen of Ukraine;
• Sergei Lisogor, a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• Oksana Marchenko, a citizen of Ukraine;
• Aleksandr Masliuk, a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• Viktor Medvedchuk, a citizen of Ukraine;
• Mikhail Popov, a citizen of the Russian Federation.

Sanctions were also imposed on 19 companies.

Danilov reassured the journalist who asked if the 1+1 TV channel would work because Oksana Marchenko partially owns it. He noted the channel would continue to operate. Just a share of Medvedchuk's wife will be under arrest; it can't be sold, used, or mortgaged.
