EU adds 3 Russian citizens, 3 companies to sanction list
The people and companies added to the list are responsible for delivering
Siemens turbines to Moscow-annexed Crimea. The turbines can be used to create
independent energy capacity and therefore separate Crimea from Ukraine
even more, Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
According to Estonian Foreign Minister Sven
Mikser, such actions undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and
independence of Ukraine. "The European Union does not recognize the
unlawful annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and such actions are
unacceptable," Mikser said.
Sanctions against the people and entities responsible for threatening and
damaging the integrity, independence and sovereignty of Ukraine have been
implemented as of Mar. 17, 2014. The list now includes 153 people and 40
companies or entities.
