President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed decrees enacting the decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine regarding the application of sanctions against the occupiers responsible for missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine, and maritime vessels that are part of Russia's shadow military-logistics fleet
It is noted that the first sanctions package includes 127 Russian occupiers involved in missile strikes on Ukraine, specifically targeting critical infrastructure and civilian objects.
Restrictions have been imposed on the commanders of long-range aviation units of the Russian Aerospace Forces, who deployed over 4,100 air-launched cruise missiles including the Kh-101, Kh-55, Kh-555, Kh-22, Kh-32, and "Kinzhal" aeroballistic missiles. In particular, they carried out strikes on the "Okhmatdyt" children's hospital in Kyiv on July 8, 2024, and a high-rise building in Ternopil on November 19, 2025, resulting in the deaths of 38 people, including eight children. Among them are also those who carried out strikes using FAB-1500 and FAB-3000 bombs on Mariupol in March 2022
Sanctions have also been imposed on the commanders of rocket and artillery units of the Russian Ground Forces. They carried out over 1,100 attacks using "Iskander-K" ground-launched cruise missiles and "Iskander-M" ballistic missiles. As a result, critical and civilian infrastructure across Ukraine was attacked, including a strike on a cafe-shop in the village of Hroza in the Kharkiv region on October 5, 2023, where 59 people died; an attack on the central part of Sumy, which claimed 35 victims, including two teenagers; and a strike on the center of Chernihiv on April 17, 2024, where three missiles killed 18 people and injured 78 others.
The second package includes 29 civilian merchant vessels involved in transporting cargo for the military needs of the Russian Federation. They are utilized for the regular transport of large volumes of weapons, ammunition, military equipment, and personnel for the Ministry of Defense of Russia. Most of them are already under sanctions by the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. Regarding the others, Ukraine will work with partners to synchronize sanctions
