Advisor – Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk met with the newly appointed Ambassador of Denmark to Ukraine, Thomas Lund-Sørensen.
“It has been an eventful week with very successful results achieved yesterday. I would like to sincerely thank Denmark for its help in this challenging process of securing unanimous support from the European Union member states for the 19th sanctions package. We do not plan to stop here – we must work on the 20th package,” said Vladyslav Vlasiuk.
It is important that the next sanctions package include further restrictions on Russia’s financial sector and alternative payments, personal sanctions, and the infrastructure of the shadow fleet.
The Advisor – Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Sanctions Policy also welcomed the establishment of a joint non-governmental project – the Center for Geoeconomics and Resilience, which will host a Sanctions Hub of Excellence. The Center will analyze the economic impact of sanctions, develop new sanction proposals against Russia, and strengthen research on the shadow fleet.
Thomas Lund-Sørensen reaffirmed Denmark’s continued support for Ukraine and its readiness to cooperate on new sanctions and advancing sanctions packages within the European Union. He also expressed hope for the effectiveness of the newly established Center for Geoeconomics and Resilience.
