Sanctions against Yulia Mendel

Overview

President Volodymyr Zelensky imposed ten-year sanctions on several individuals, including former press secretary Yulia Mendel, accusing them of spreading Russian propaganda and disinformation. The sanctions involve asset freezes and restrictions on commercial transactions. Mendel has challenged the legality of these measures, describing them as “unconstitutional” and an attempt to silence peace advocates.

Following these sanctions, Mendel was barred from entering the European Parliament in Strasbourg, where she was scheduled to be a keynote speaker for an event organized by German Alternative for Germany (AfD) MEP Hans Neuhoff. Although denied entry, Mendel delivered her speech virtually via videoconference.
