The Council of the European Union on Friday decided to add 11 more people to its list of sanctions over Ukraine situation, bringing the number of people on its Ukraine-related blacklist to 72.

According to an EU statement the 11 persons, who are responsible for actions "undermining Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence", will be targeted with a travel ban and a freeze of their assets within the EU.

At the same time, two confiscated entities in Crimea and Sevastopol remain under asset freeze.

The legal texts with the list of persons concerned will be published tomorrow in the EU Official Journal and will enter into force at the same time.
