Ukraine has imposed sanctions on 23 companies in the Russian military-industrial complex that are involved in supplying components for the production of ballistic weapons. The new restrictions are intended to make it more difficult for Russia to manufacture missiles and other military equipment.
The sanctions target companies that supply the Russian defense sector with critical parts and components. Ukrainian authorities expect that such measures will increase pressure on the aggressor country’s military-industrial complex.
Ukraine Has Adopted New Sanctions Against Russia’s Military-Industrial Complex
On August 3, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree enacting a decision by the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. The decision concerns sanctions against entities operating within the Russian military-industrial complex.
The sanctions target 23 companies and 20 individuals associated with them. They manufacture and supply equipment and components to the Russian military-industrial complex and security forces while circumventing sanctions.
Who’s on the list
Among them is the company “Kidma Tech,” which manufactures:
optical devices,
air defense systems,
multiple-launch rocket systems.
The company also repairs aviation and anti-tank guided missiles,
The Morozov Plant, which is part of the sanctioned "Rostec" group, has also been hit by Ukrainian sanctions.
The plant manufactures:
explosives,
rocket fuel,
materials for missile systems (in particular, solid-fuel charges for the engine of the “Iskander-M” ballistic missile).
Who else is on the sanctions lists:
"Spetselektronkomplekt"—involved in the production of guided air-to-ground missiles;
the company “Aurum” supplies electronic warfare systems and drones to Russian occupiers.
The list also includes Russian IT companies that develop digital solutions and information security software for government and private clients.
"Every company that loses access to components, technologies, or funding will produce fewer ballistic missiles, drones, and other weapons for the war," saidVladislav Vlasyuk, the President’s advisor and representative on sanctions policy.
This was reported with reference to the website of the President of Ukraine.
As a reminder, Zelenskyy announced a new position for Ukraine’s ambassador to Poland.
Ukraine will make every effort to force Russia to end the war before the start of winter 2026. To this end, Kyiv will continue to intensify diplomatic and sanctions pressure on the aggressor in cooperation with international partners.
The EU has allowed Ukraine to purchase Chinese drone components using credit funds.
