Representatives of the EU Member States expect to see from Ukraine an updated list of sanctioned persons to expand restrictions against Russians and Crimean residents involved in the prosecution of Crimean Tatars, that’s according to one of Lithuania’s delegates to PACE Emanuelis Zingeris who spoke at a meeting in the Assembly’s framework on to the abduction and torture of people in Crimea, Europeiska Pravda reported.
"It is important to know who exactly is involved in the kidnapping and murder of pro-Ukrainian citizens in Crimea. We are ready to raise the issue of introducing sanctions against them, but have no such list yet,” Zingeris said.
“[Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Pavlo] Klimkin must sign off the list of persons who are engaged in terror in Crimea,” he said.

"We have such a list. This is a so-called Sentsov List. The names on this list are already known – they are the representatives of the prosecutor's office, FSB, the investigators involved in the kidnapping and torture in Crimea. We'll soon hand it over to the Foreign Ministry," she said.
In her comments, Skrypnyk clarified that the list included more than a hundred people regarding whom evidence was collected of their involvement in persecution in Crimea. The list is divided into two parts. In the first group there are those involved in the abduction and torture of pro-Ukrainian activists, and in the second group - "oppressors of the freedom of speech," that is the persons involved in the persecution of Crimean media and individual journalists not controlled by the Russian Federation.
