Ukraine sanctioned the country’s opposition leader and former President Petro Poroshenko as the likelihood of an uncomfortable peace deal with Russia grows, setting the stage for new elections.

The country’s Security and Defense Council, headed by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, published a list of people targeted by new sanctions on Thursday, including Poroshenko. The restrictions indefinitely block his assets in Ukraine, limiting his business operations.
