Why sanctions against Poroshenko may be invalid and what we know about the mistakes made by the National Security and Defense Council.

The recently imposed sanctions by the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) against several prominent individuals, including former President Petro Poroshenko and businessman Konstantin Zhevago, have come under scrutiny due to errors in the documentation. These inaccuracies could significantly affect the legality and effectiveness of the imposed restrictions.

Error in Poroshenko's Identification Number

The published decree by President Volodymyr Zelensky states that the taxpayer identification number (TIN) of Petro Poroshenko consists of 11 digits, whereas the standard Ukrainian TIN contains 10 digits. Journalist Maksym Savchuk pointed out this inaccuracy, emphasizing that such an error could cast doubt on the validity of the sanctions.

Incorrect Birth Date of Zhevago

In the same document, Konstantin Zhevago's year of birth is listed as 1957, while it is well-known that the businessman was born in 1974. This mistake has also been identified by journalists and raises questions about the accuracy of the individual's identification against whom the sanctions are imposed.

Potential Consequences and Need for Corrections

The errors made could lead to legal complications in the enforcement of the sanctions, including asset freezes and other restrictions. To rectify these inaccuracies, the NSDC needs to hold a new meeting and make the necessary amendments to the documents.
