President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky signed decrees putting into effect the decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to apply sanctions against entities of the aggressor country Russia that are involved in the production of ballistic missiles, facilitate sanctions evasion in the financial sphere, and individuals acting in Russia’s interests in temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories. The Office of the President reported this on 11 October.
The press release states that the first sanctions list includes 70 Russians involved in the manufacture of Iskander-M and Zircon ballistic missiles, which Russia uses to carry out massive strikes on Ukrainian cities and communities. The OP emphasized that just this week Russia killed 153 and wounded 723 people in Ukraine, attacked civilian targets and the country’s energy infrastructure. To do this, the enemy used about 1450 aerial bombs, more than 1640 strike drones and 75 rockets of various types, including ballistic missiles.
In response, Ukraine is applying long‑range sanctions and imposing restrictions on key employees of enterprises of the Russian defense‑industrial complex and the chemical industry that participate in organizing the continuous industrial cycle for producing ballistic weapons.
“Among them are employees of the Votkinsk Plant, the V. V. Bakhirev Institute of Mechanical Engineering, the enterprises Radar MMS, Granit‑Electron, Anozit, Aviatek, Metafrax Chemicals, Altai, Nevinnomyssk Azot, Azot, the Salyut, Strila, VNIIR‑Progress, Mashinostroitel, Avangard plants, the Sverdlov and Morozov plants, the Voskresensky Aggregate Plant, as well as the research institutes Polus and Submikron,” the OP listed, noting that all these enterprises are already under sanctions by Ukraine and partially by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, Canada, and New Zealand.
However, rockets are assembled by specific people—namely engineers, technologists, production managers—so they have now been added to the sanctions list: a total of 70 key workers in the missile chain, “from chemical plants that supply propellant and explosive components to the assembly shops of Votkinsk,” emphasized the president’s advisor and authorized representative for sanctions policy, Vladyslav Vlasiuk.
The sanctions package also covers 28 individuals and 27 legal entities that help Russia evade sanctions in the financial sphere. These include companies: operators of crypto exchanges, cryptocurrency exchange services, their managers and owners. Restrictions are also imposed on the managers and owners of companies that belong to the shadow banking network A7 and publicly offer instruments to bypass financial sanctions. The OP recalled that the United States previously imposed sanctions on the A7 network.
By another decision, sanctions were applied against 10 individuals and 21 legal entities, as well as against two seagoing vessels that are accomplices of Russia and operate in its interests on temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. These include collaborators who serve the aggressor, work for it, and assist the Russian occupiers. Among them are also enterprises that provide internet and television services, conduct geological exploration, and manufacture electronics and metal products in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the OP explained.
