MOSCOW

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy imposed sanctions Tuesday against 29 Russians and 15 legal entities.

Kyiv accused Russian historians and institutions in science and culture of supporting Russia's "special military operation," falsifying historical facts, and allegedly illegally removing cultural valuables from museums and nature reserves in Crimea.

Archives and historic societies were sanctioned, along with prominent Russian historians.

A decree, enabling the relevant decision by Ukraine's National and Defense Council was published on the presidential website.
