Descriptions

Former Ukrainian President. Subject to criminal proceedings in Ukraine in connection with the embezzlement of Ukrainian State funds and their illegal transfer outside Ukraine

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

From 2010 until 2014, Viktor Yanukovych was President of Ukraine. He pursued a pro-Russian policy when in office. A Ukrainian court found Viktor Yanukovych guilty of treason for having invited the Russian Federation to invade Ukraine. After being removed from power, he relocated to Russia, from where he has continued his activities aimed at destabilising Ukraine. He assisted in the Russian military interference in Ukraine by calling on the President of the Russian Federation to send Russian troops to Ukraine in March 2014. Viktor Yanukovych supported pro-Russian politicians who held public offices in occupied Crimea. In 2021, a new pre-trial investigation in Ukraine was opened according to which Viktor Yanukovych, together with two former Ministers of Defence, had purposefully reduced the defence capacity of Ukraine, particularly in the autonomous so-called “Republic of Crimea”. On 21 April 2010, then President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych and then President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev signed an agreement between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, according to which the term of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in Sevastopol was extended from 2017 to 2042. By signing the agreements, Yanukovych created favourable conditions for increasing Russia’s military presence in Ukraine and for the re-equipment and modernisation of the weapons of the Black Sea Fleet in the territory of Crimea. Subsequently, Russian weapons that were on the territory of Ukraine were used to annex the autonomous so-called “Republic of Crimea” and the city of Sevastopol in 2014. In 2023, Ukraine’s State Bureau of Investigation submitted an indictment against Viktor Yanukovych on charges of treason and aiding Russia in carrying out subversive activities in Ukraine. He considers himself as the legitimate President of Ukraine and has consistently presented a pro-Russian stance in his public interventions. According to different sources, Viktor Yanukovych has been part of a Russian special operation, aimed at replacing the Ukrainian President with him, during the first phases of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. Furthermore, the President of the Republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has requested the President of Ukraine to transfer all his powers to Viktor Yanukovych. Therefore, Viktor Yanukovych is responsible for, supporting or implementing actions or policies which threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as the state’s stability and security.

Function: former president of Ukraine, Leading businessperson

Swiss SECO Sanctions/Embargoes,

De 2010 à 2014, Viktor Yanukovych a été président de l’Ukraine. Pendant son mandat, il a mené une politique pro-russe. Un tribunal ukrainien a déclaré Viktor Yanukovych coupable de trahison pour avoir invité la Fédération de Russie à envahir l’Ukraine. Après avoir été écarté du pouvoir, il s’est établi en Russie, d’où il a poursuivi ses activités visant à déstabiliser l’Ukraine. Il a contribué à l’ingérence militaire russe en Ukraine en appelant le président de la Fédération de Russie à envoyer des troupes russes en Ukraine en mars 2014. Viktor Yanukovych a soutenu des responsables politiques pro-russes qui exerçaient des fonctions publiques en Crimée occupée. En 2021, une nouvelle instruction préparatoire a été ouverte en Ukraine, laquelle a révélé que Viktor Yanukovych, ainsi que deux anciens ministres de la Défense, avaient volontairement réduit la capacité de défense de l’Ukraine, en particulier dans la soi-disant "République autonome de Crimée". Le 21 avril 2010, le président de l’époque de l’Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, et le président de l’époque de la Russie, Dmitry Medvedev, ont signé un accord entre l’Ukraine et la Fédération de Russie, par lequel le mandat de la flotte de la mer Noire de la Fédération de Russie à Sébastopol a été prolongé de 2017 à 2042. En signant les accords, Yanukovych a créé des conditions favorables au renforcement de la présence militaire de la Russie en Ukraine ainsi qu’au rééquipement et à la modernisation des armes de la flotte de la mer Noire sur le territoire de la Crimée. Par la suite, des armes russes qui se trouvaient sur le territoire de l’Ukraine ont été utilisées aux fins de l’annexion de la soi-disant "République autonome de Crimée" et de la ville de Sébastopol en 2014. En 2023, le bureau national d’enquête ukrainien a émis un acte d’accusation à l’encontre de Viktor Yanukovych l’accusant de trahison et d’aider la Russie à mener des activités subversives en Ukraine. Il se considère comme le président légitime de l’Ukraine et a toujours eu une position pro-russe dans ses interventions publiques. Selon différentes sources, Viktor Yanukovych a fait partie d’une opération spéciale russe destinée à remplacer le président ukrainien par lui-même, au cours des premières phases de la guerre d’agression menée par la Russie contre l’Ukraine. En outre, le président de la République de Tchétchénie, Ramzan Kadyrov, a demandé au président de l’Ukraine de transférer tous ses pouvoirs à Viktor Yanukovych. Viktor Yanukovych est donc responsable de soutenir ou de mettre en œuvre des actions ou des politiques menaçant l’intégrité territoriale, la souveraineté et l’indépendance de l’Ukraine, ainsi que la stabilité et la sécurité de l’État.
