21 February 18:15
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree enacting the decision of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) to impose sanctions on individuals and companies serving the Russian military-industrial complex.
This is stated in a report by the Office of the President of Ukraine, as reported by "Komersant Ukrainian".
The sanctions list includes 46 Russian citizens, two Iranian citizens, and 44 Russian companies that serve the Russian military-industrial complex. Among them are those who supply, develop, manufacture, and repair equipment, electronic warfare systems, and spare parts for the Russian military-industrial complex. Their products are used in the production of ballistic and cruise missiles, strike and reconnaissance drones, small arms, and ammunition.
Two Iranian citizens are involved in the supply of aviation spare parts and components in circumvention of sanctions. This was done in the interests of the Iranian Aviation Manufacturing Corporation, which is Russia’s partner in the development and production of Shahed drones and is already under sanctions by Ukraine, the US, Switzerland, and New Zealand.
Ukraine will share this info with its partners to keep things in sync and will keep expanding sanctions against other people and companies that are helping Russia’s aggression.
