Overview
- President Volodymyr Zelensky signed four presidential decrees on Thursday that impose new sanctions targeting Russia’s military‑industrial network, propaganda actors, and alleged collaborators.
- One decree lists 28 Russian individuals, 36 Russian firms and a Chinese company accused of supplying precision equipment, drone components, software and other inputs used by Russia’s security forces.
- A separate decree targets five Rusal‑owned companies and nine affiliated people for supplying alumina and related raw materials that Kyiv says are used to make missiles, artillery and aircraft components.
- Kyiv also designated 45 people and eight entities for promoting the invasion, including former Ukrainian lawmaker Yurii Ivanyushchenko, and sanctioned creators and companies behind the children’s cartoon 'Masha and the Bear' for spreading pro‑Russian narratives.
- Designated parties will face asset freezes, trade restrictions and travel bans, and Ukraine says it will share documentation with partners to secure synchronized international measures that limit sanctions evasion and rerouting.
