Ukraine has officially imposed personal sanctions against a number of prominent individuals, including former member of parliament Ihor Mosiychuk, the son of former Motor Sich CEO Oleksandr Boguslaev, and the founder of the website “Road Control,” Rostyslav Shaposhnikov. The relevant decree No. 345/2025 was published by President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Restrictions and Consequences of the Sanctions
According to the document, the sanctions entail a temporary blocking of the assets of the sanctioned individuals, prohibiting them from using or disposing of property both directly and through intermediaries. In addition, restrictions are imposed on participation in trade operations, privatization processes, public procurement, as well as a ban on technology transfer, contract signing, and dividend payments.
The restrictions also apply to other individuals, including Ihor Mosiychuk, who is a member of the eighth convocation of the Verkhovna Rada, and Rostyslav Shaposhnikov. Both are currently outside Ukraine and hold the status of bloggers.
“This is stated in the decree of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky No. 345/2025,”
Earlier this year, in February, Zelensky approved the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to impose sanctions against the fifth president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, the leader of the opposition force “European Solidarity.” However, this decision sparked controversy: the authorities argue that it is necessary to punish a political opponent for “trading the country,” while Poroshenko called it “unconstitutional and politically motivated.”
Human rights organizations criticize the application of sanctions against opposition politicians and businessmen, considering them a political retribution that undermines fundamental principles of law and violates the Constitution of Ukraine and international agreements ratified by the state authorities.
