On 20 February 2014, the Council condemned in the strongest terms all use of violence in Ukraine. It called for an immediate end to the violence, full respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms. It called upon the Ukrainian Government to exercise maximum restraint and opposition leaders to distance themselves from those who resort to radical action, including violence.
On … February 2014, the Council adopted Decision 2014/…/CFSP concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Ukraine.
Decision 2014/…/CFSP provides for the freezing of funds and economic resources of certain persons responsible for violations of human rights, violence or use of excessive force. These natural or legal persons, entities and bodies are listed in the Annex to the Decision.
Further action by the Union is needed in order to implement Decision 2014/…/CFSP.
The High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the European Commission should make a proposal for a Regulation concerning restrictive measures in view of the situation in Ukraine.
