15 March 16:15
Ukraine has imposed sanctions on Russian Paralympians who participated in the war. Another set of restrictions targets Russian and Iranian companies and citizens involved in the defense industry of the aggressor state.
This was reported by [Komersant], citing relevant decrees issued by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Ten Russian Paralympians have been sanctioned. All of them took part in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.
The athletes spread Russian propaganda and use sporting events as a platform to whitewash Russian crimes and the occupation.
The sanctions package targeting the military-industrial complex includes 130 individuals and 48 legal entities.
Among them is a company involved in supplying components for the production of “Kometa” series satellite navigation equipment (used in Russian drones, cruise and ballistic missiles, guided munitions, and aircraft used by Russia to shell Ukrainian cities and communities).
The list also includes companies involved in the production of the “Oreshnik” missile system.
The list also includes Iranian companies and individuals involved in the manufacture of Iranian drones and missiles, which are used not only against Ukraine but also in the Middle East against Gulf countries.
These legal entities and individuals helped Russia launch, deploy, and scale up the production of “Shaheds” in Russia.
Sanctions have also been imposed on Iranian instructors who trained Russian “Shahed” operators, who subsequently attacked Ukrainian cities and energy facilities.
