"Oleksandr Tupytskyi, the former Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, for significant corrupt acts to include the acceptance of a monetary bribe while serving in the Ukrainian judiciary. Tupytskyi’s spouse, Olga Tupytska, was also designated as part of this action," Blinken said in a statement.
The sanctions were issued on International Anti-Corruption Day 2021 as part of the US government's commitment to elevating anti-corruption as a core national security priority, Blinked added.
Earlier on Thursday, the US Treasury Department announced Magnitsky sanctions against Andriy Portnov, the former Deputy Head of ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych’s administration, for alleged corruption.
The sanctions restrict the ability of the designated individuals to engage in commercial activities in the United States or with US citizens.
