Deputy Head of the Office of the President Pavlo Palisa, Advisor – Commissioner of the President on Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk, and representatives of the Security Service and the Prosecutor General's Office held a meeting with ambassadors of European countries regarding the strengthening of sanction pressure on Russia.
"Representatives of European states were shown parts of the Russian Zircon, Kalibr, and Kh-101 missiles, as well as Geran-2 drones, which Russia used to attack Ukraine on the night of May 24. They contained components of foreign manufacture—specifically from Switzerland, Germany, the USA, Great Britain, Japan, China, and others—manufactured, in particular, this year. They also showed individual circuit boards from the 'Oreshnik,' which contain exclusively Russian and Belarusian components manufactured between 2004 and 2014," the OP stated.
"We need to focus and truly stop the supply of parts entering Russia. This will be a significant blow to the capacities of Russian defense production," Vlasiuk said.
According to the Advisor – Commissioner of the President on Sanctions Policy, it is also "important to strengthen control over Belarus's access to foreign electronics."

Palisa called on representatives of European states to strengthen work on existing sanction restrictions and to accelerate work on new sanctions packages.
"You know that Russia claims they are ready to launch more missiles to strike targets in Ukraine, especially in Kyiv. Everyone has seen the results. This is not about some, as they say, 'decision-making centers'; it is about the civilian population, about civilian casualties. They are not capable of carrying out such strikes on their own, without help or an industrial base from other countries," he emphasized.
About the "shadow fleet"
The Ukrainian side called on European partners to strengthen coordination in countering the "shadow fleet."
In particular, to stop and seize vessels based on materials collected by the Security Service of Ukraine, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Foreign Intelligence Service, and the Main Intelligence Directorate,
Thanks to the "shadow fleet," the aggressor country, according to the OP, "was able to earn over 101 billion dollars in 2025, most of which was directed toward the production of weapons."
The meeting participants discussed the threats that the Russian "shadow fleet" poses to pan-European security, particularly regarding espionage, information gathering, and the environment. According to Vlasiuk, "the number of personal sanctions against ship captains and companies that agree to perform such work for Russia should be increased."
"Ambassadors of foreign states expressed support for the Ukrainian proposals. The parties agreed on further work to strengthen inspections and additional sanctions regarding the Russian Federation's shadow fleet," the OP reported.
