This Decree of the President of Ukraine puts into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) regarding the application and amendment of personal special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions). In fact, the Decree legitimizes the NSDC decision, making it mandatory for execution. Control over implementation is entrusted to the Secretary of the NSDC.
The structure of the Decree is very simple: it consists of three articles. The first article puts into effect the NSDC decision on sanctions, the second defines the person responsible for control, and the third establishes the date of entry into force of the Decree – from the day of its publication.
The most important provision is the putting into effect of the NSDC decision, as it defines the list of persons to whom sanctions are applied, and the content of these sanctions. To understand the practical consequences of the Decree, it is necessary to familiarize oneself with the full text of the NSDC decision, which is attached to the Decree.
