The EU adopts sanctions against former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych and his son

The member countries of the European Union imposed, on Thursday, sanctions against the former Ukrainian pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych and his son Oleksandr for their alleged role in the threat to the security of Ukraine, reports AFP.

The European Council indicated in a statement that the two were added to a list of European sanctions implemented "in response to Russia's unjustified military aggression against Ukraine."

Viktor Yanukovych presided over Ukraine from February 2010 to February 2014, when he was ousted by a popular uprising as his government turned away from the West to be closer to Moscow.

President Putin's Russia responded to the defeat of its ally by annexing the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and an enclave in the Donbas region in the east. In February, Moscow launched an all-out offensive against Ukraine.
