According to the explanatory note on the sanctions, the Wagner Group is "responsible for supporting materially actions which undermine and threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine."
The note said that RIA FAN is "involved in pro- government propaganda and disinformation," noting that the organization is also "supporting materially actions and policies which undermine and threaten" Ukraine's territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence.
Earlier, the US moved to designate the Wagner group as a Transnational Criminal Organization.
As part of the measures, the US government imposed sanctions against entities and individuals linked to the Russian military company.
Shortly before Washington imposed sanctions against the Wagner group, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that those statement of the United States on the soon recognition of Wagner group as a criminal organization does not have any significance for Russia or for the group itself.
