Ukraine's European and other international partners have expanded sanctions against Russia in recent weeks, targeting banks, defense industry companies, the energy sector and the shadow fleet, and the key task now is to deny the enemy time to adapt.

Ukraine's sanctions policy commissioner Vladyslav Vlasiuk said this in a comment to Ukrinform.

"Over the past few weeks, our partners – the United Kingdom, the EU, Canada, New Zealand and Switzerland – have adopted new sanctions decisions. What is important is that Britain has expanded restrictions on the financial and energy sectors in its latest package," Vlasiuk said.

Among those sanctioned was Ozon Bank, whose app has already been removed from Google Play. The list of foreign companies also includes India's Frion Ship Management LLP, which facilitated the transfer of the Arctic Express gas carrier to Russia.

A number of other banks, defense industry enterprises and shadow fleet vessels were also subjected to restrictions.
