Instead, the authorities ignored a petition for sanctions against Portnov, which was supported by 25,000 Ukrainians in just 20 days, Pavlenko notes.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Following Vereshchuk, Zelensky&#8217;s representative Vladyslav Vlasyuk also stood out. He gave an interview about sanctions: smooth and round. He never explained, though, why the sanctions are not synchronized with the partners, what prevents the transit of Russian energy carriers from being banned (and where is the OP&#8217;s interest in that), and how it is possible to simultaneously demand sanctions against Rosatom and try to buy Russian reactors in Bulgaria,&#8221; Pavlenko notes.<\/p>\n<p> In his interview, the Bankova representative also called on Ukrainians to write petitions regarding individuals to whom sanctions should be applied. &#8220;And he showed a complete lack of understanding of the realities. He says, &#8216;I think there was such a petition against Poroshenko,'&#8221; the MP quoted from the interview.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"shortcode-wide-image\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_5902-768x1545-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p> &#8220;It was there, but it didn&#8217;t get the votes. The majority of the people don&#8217;t want sanctions against Poroshenko, they see them either as pressure on the opposition or as a distraction from problems. Sociology shows this, and over time the situation for those imposing &#8220;sanctions&#8221; only gets worse,&#8221; Pavlenko notes.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"shortcode-wide-image\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_5903-768x1443-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p> &#8220;But the petition regarding sanctions against Portnov \u2013 who, it seems, was behind the crime of &#8220;imposing sanctions&#8221; on Poroshenko \u2013 just gained momentum. But the entire Cabinet of Ministers did not find any grounds there. Because Portnov wrote them &#8220;grounds&#8221; against Poroshenko, but not against himself,&#8221; Rostyslav Pavlenko states.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"shortcode-wide-image\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/img_5905-768x1567-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"shortcode-wide-image\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/4.jpeg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p> &#8220;It&#8217;s all a shame. With such a level in the OP, it&#8217;s no wonder that the sanctions policy is limping on both feet.
