The European union says it has frozen the assets of 18 people, suspected of misappropriating Ukrainan state money. Ousted president Viktor Yanukovych is one of them.
The 28-nation bloc revealed the names of those targeted by its sanctions early Thursday.
The list includes what appear to be Yanukovych’s closest aides. They include a former interior minister, justice minister, the prosecutor general, the head of the security services and Yanukovych’s son. The sanctions also target former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and his son.
