Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin stands in favor of taking appropriate measures against those promoting the Kremlin's agenda.

"To expand on recent interviews advocating sanctioning people like Schroeder: the point is we must now widen our scope to capture actions of players, previously ignored, who use their influence to promote the Kremlins agenda," Klimkin wrote on Twitter.

"We must act appropriately to discourage such activity," he stated.
