Ukraine’s parliament adopted a resolution seeking to put sanctions on Verkhovna Rada People’s Deputy of Ukraine Andriy Derkach

The resolution, which passed with 327 votes in favour, instructs the government to impose sanctions on Derkach for his alleged involvement in Russian interference in the 2020 US presidential election

The US Treasury Department has already sanctioned Derkach, accusing him of being a Russian agent who has “sought to influence the 2020 US presidential election by spreading disinformation and interfering with US electoral processes”

The resolution adopted by the Verkhovna Rada calls on the government to impose sanctions on Derkach’s assets, as well as to ban him from entering Ukraine

The resolution also calls on the government to investigate Derkach’s alleged involvement in Russian interference in the 2020 US presidential election

The US Treasury Department has already sanctioned Derkach, accusing him of being a Russian agent who has “sought to influence the 2020 US presidential election by spreading disinformation and interfering with US electoral processes”
