Extension of EU sanctions against Yanukovych and 15 his associates came into force
The extension of European Union sanctions against former fugitive Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych and 15 his associates on suspicion of embezzling state funds has come into force.
The restrictive measures, imposed 2 years ago after Yanukovych fled Ukraine, were extended until 6 March 2017.
The EU also extended sanctions against former Ukrainian prime minister Mykola Azarov, former National Bank head Serhiy Arbuzov, and former National Security and Defense Council secretary Andriy Klyuyev.
Former health minister Raisa Bohatyryova was removed from the sanctions list because she reportedly was found to have no assets abroad.
EU ministers agreed to extend the sanctions 4 March at a meeting in Brussels.
The decision took effect 5 March, after its publication in the Official Journal of the EU.
