VIENNA (Reuters) - Ukrainian tycoon Dmytro Firtash denies allegations behind his home country's move to impose sanctions on him for selling titanium products that Kyiv believes end up being used by Russian military enterprises, one of his lawyers said on Monday.

The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, which coordinates security policy, announced the decision on Friday, adding that the specifics would be announced separately in a presidential decree. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has promised action to reduce oligarchs' influence on Ukraine.
