The President's office was discussed with Lithuanian delegation to increase the sanction pressure on the Russian Federation

Advisor-Presidential Presidential Policy Commissioner Vladislav Vlasyuk met with the Lithuanian delegation, headed by the Deputy Foreign Minister Gabia Grygaya Dowgard. The main topic of discussion is to increase the sanction pressure on Russia for its aggression against Ukraine. Vladislav Vlasyuk noted the active participation of Lithuania and other Baltic countries in this process.

  The Commissioner of the Head of State informed about the recent steps of Ukraine on the synchronization of sanctions with partners, in particular the decrees that the President introduced the relevant NSDC decisions. According to Vladislav Vlasyuk, one of the main goals of sanctions policy remains the deprivation of access to access to advanced Western technologies and microelectronics. After all, rockets and drones used during shelling of Ukraine contain dozens of relevant components.

In particular, it is very important to limit Russia to use third countries and intermediaries to obtain the necessary elements for its defense production. Also, control over the export of dual use goods should also work, as certain legal gaps and loopholes in the supply chain affect the effectiveness of sanctions. In addition, priority is the sanctions against the financial networks that Russia uses to bypass Western restrictions.
