Overview
- President Volodymyr Zelensky signed two decrees on May 29–30 to synchronize Ukraine's sanctions with the European Union's 20th package.
- The synchronized list covers 120 individuals and entities and adds 16 additional Russian citizens and 31 companies based in Russia, Belarus, the UAE, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and occupied Ukrainian territory.
- Kyiv singled out military‑industrial and defense suppliers, including aerospace and drone‑component firms such as Atlant Aero LLC and Irz‑Svyaz LLC, and imposed economic restrictions on sectors that feed Russia's war effort.
- The decrees also target 19 Iranian citizens and 11 Iranian firms tied to ballistic‑missile and drone programs, plus seven Sudanese citizens, and several UAE companies that supplied machine tools, lab gear, chemicals, and aircraft parts.
- Ukrainian sanctions officials say the step preserves policy coherence with EU partners, seeks to disrupt third‑country supply chains, and paves the way for a jointly developed 21st sanctions package that could widen pressure on Russia.
