The sanctions package against Russia’s defense industry includes 26 individuals and 31 legal entities. Among them are companies that produce underwater, surface, and aerial unmanned robotic systems and their software.
This list also includes companies that manufacture and service various weapons: electronic warfare systems, air defense weapon systems, armored vehicles, submarines, ships, auxiliary fleet vessels, port equipment, and their components.
Sanctions were also imposed against enterprises in the aviation industry – manufacturers and repairers of parts for Mi-8, Mi-17, Mi-171, Mi-172, and Mi-14 helicopter families.
Another package of restrictions concerns 7 individuals and 11 legal entities: companies and their leaders who facilitate the circumvention of sanctions. Among them are manufacturers of components for X-101, X-59M2/M2A missiles and “Iskander-K”.
Also included in this list are companies that are illegally engaged in business activities in temporarily occupied territories and are involved in the construction of the Crimean Bridge.
Ukraine will provide partners with all necessary information for synchronizing sanctions in international jurisdictions.
“These sanctions strike at the core of the Russian military-industrial complex, from weapons manufacturers and critical component suppliers to networks that facilitate the circumvention of sanctions. We are consistently closing the links, including activities in temporarily occupied territories,” noted the President’s Commissioner for Sanctions Policy, Vladyslav Vasyuk.
Ukraine’s sanctions against the Russian Federation
Recall that recently Ukraine imposed sanctions against Russian Paralympians who participated in the war. Another package of restrictions concerns Russian and Iranian companies and citizens that service the defense industry of the aggressor state.
Previously, Ukraine imposed sanctions against 10 Russian transport and logistics companies delivering cargo to Ukrainian territories temporarily occupied by Russia.
Earlier, Ukraine imposed sanctions against citizens of Russia and Iran, as well as 44 Russian companies that service the military-industrial complex of the aggressor state.
In February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree imposing sanctions against companies of Russia’s “shadow fleet” that transport sanctioned oil.
