Two Crimean companies have been added to a sanctions list by the European Union. Thirteen individuals were also sanctioned by the European Union.
“Self-rule ‘referendums’ in Ukraine are illegal, have zero credibility and do not meet any standard of fairness, objectivity or transparency”, stressed British Foreign Minister William Hague.
The thirteen individuals will be subjected to both visa bans on travel and asset isolation.
It is important to note that the companies with asset isolation are Crimean. This is the first multilateral European financial response to the Crimean referendum.
During the meeting in Brussels, leaders agreed to consider 25 additional individuals to be sanctioned if the May 25 elections are negatively impacted.
The total number of individuals sanctioned by the European Union is now Sixty One.
