If Russia does not stop, we have only one instrument &#8211; sanctions,&#8221; Petro Poroshenko said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, sanctions are needed to stop the potential threat of Russian occupation of Azov. &#8220;If they block a ship with Ukrainian metal products from Mariupol for one day, then the price of losses will be thousands of dollars,&#8221; the President said.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Russians are constantly attacking Ukrainian fishermen in Ukrainian waters: arresting them, stopping them and threatening them. The President noted that this is part of the hybrid war against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sanctions halt the growth of Russian GDP, they halt the improvement of living standards in Russia and devalue Russian currency.
