The measures, based on National Security and Defense Council decisions from March 26, target those involved in the production of advanced weaponry, the construction of the Kerch Bridge, and illegal business activities in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

The primary sanctions package includes 26 individuals and 31 legal entities. Among them are companies manufacturing maritime and aerial robotic systems, as well as electronic warfare (EW) equipment, air defense systems, and armored vehicles. The list also covers enterprises in the aviation industry responsible for producing and repairing components for the Mi-8, Mi-17, and Mi-14 helicopter families.
A secondary decree targets 7 individuals and 11 entities involved in sanctions evasion networks. These include manufacturers of critical components for Russia’s X-101 and Iskander-K missiles.
“These sanctions hit the core of the Russian military-industrial complex, from weapon manufacturers to networks facilitating sanctions evasion,” said Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the President’s Commissioner for Sanctions Policy. “We are consistently closing the loops, including activities in temporarily occupied territories.”
