Council Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1661 of 15 September 2016 implementing Regulation (EU) No 269/2014 concerning restrictive measures in respect of actions undermining or threatening the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine · European Union

In his former capacity as so-called ‘Head of the Luhansk Central Election Commission’ he was responsible for organising the so-called ‘elections’ of 2 November 2014 in the ‘Luhansk People's Republic’. These ‘elections’ were in breach of Ukrainian law and therefore illegal. In October 2015 he was appointed as so-called ‘Minister of Justice’ of the ‘Luhansk People's Republic’. In taking on and acting in these capacities, and in organising the illegal ‘elections’, he has therefore actively supported actions and policies which undermine the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, and further destabilised Ukraine.
