Zelenskyy Imposes New Sanctions, Strips Boyko of Hero of Ukraine Title

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced new sanctions against several prominent figures in Ukraine, including former Deputy Prime Minister Yuriy Boyko, who was also stripped of the title Hero of Ukraine. The sanctions target individuals accused of collaboration with Russia and undermining Ukraine's national security. Among those sanctioned are Nestor Shufrich, a former member of parliament, and Oleh Tsarev, a former member of parliament. The president's announcement was made during a televised address, where he also discussed the selection of a new head for the National Academy of Ground Forces. The selection process involved an online poll conducted by ArmyInform, a military news outlet. The video shows a clip of Zelenskyy's address, detailing these events. This action underscores the ongoing efforts by the Ukrainian government to combat pro-Russian sentiment and strengthen national unity during the ongoing war. The sanctions are likely to have significant consequences for the individuals involved, impacting their assets and activities within Ukraine. The new appointment to the National Academy of Ground Forces is also a significant development, reflecting a commitment to reforming the military and improving its effectiveness in the face of ongoing conflict.
