Mariana Betsa, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, said that the ministry had begun to work together on a list of sanctions against persons accused of illegally prosecuting Ukrainian citizens.
"We are taking all possible measures of political pressure on Russia to free our citizens ... Now, together with our partners, we are working on a sanctions list of people involved in the illegal persecution of Ukrainian citizens and the violation of their rights," she said RIA "News".
