Former Attorney General Konstantin Kulik is challenging the 10-year sanctions imposed by Volodymyr Zelensky at the Supreme Court of Ukraine.

These restrictions include the freezing of assets, a ban on trade operations, and a prohibition on purchasing land plots.

Reasons for imposing sanctions against Kulik

  • In 2024, Kulik was placed on the wanted list and was charged in absentia with collaborating with Russian special services.
  • According to the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), he was a member of a criminal organisation funded by the Russian General Staff to the tune of $10 million.
  • Together with People's Deputies Andriy Derkach and Oleksandr Dubinsky, Kulik disseminated pro-Russian propaganda and attempted to influence Ukraine's international policy.

Case progress and the fate of the defendants

  • Derkach's aide, Kolesnikov, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison.
  • Oleksandr Dubinsky was detained and is currently in custody. The remaining defendants will be tried in absentia.
