Volodymyr Zelensky signed several new sanctions decisions against russia

He announced this in his evening address on 4 October.

The lists include individuals and legal entities directly related to russia's military-industrial complex, linked to the russian oil sector, as well as companies associated with russian oligarchs subject to sanctions.

The first decree refers to sanctions against 33 individuals and 27 legal entities, aimed at weakening russia's military-industrial potential and preventing access to critical technologies.

The restrictions apply to manufacturers of drones, aircraft engines and optical devices, as well as suppliers of imported technologies and components to russia in circumvention of sanctions.

The second decree aims to extend the sanctions imposed in 2023 for two years. Companies associated with sanctioned russian oligarchs Petr Aven, Mikhail Fridman and Andrey Kosogov have been added to this list.

The third decree imposed sanctions against four individuals and three legal entities associated with russia's oil sector and financing the continuation of the war. Through various business structures, they attempted to infiltrate the Ukrainian financial system, creating risks of hidden influence on the banking sector.

In particular, sanctions were imposed on the company Nefteavtomatika and its CEO, as well as on the Kurgan Chemical Engineering Plant and its CEO.

‘We are continuing our comprehensive policy of pressure on russia. We will continue to coordinate this with our partners. Many of Ukraine's efforts are already forming the basis of our partners' sanctions. We are counting on synchronising our sanctions with our partners,’ the president emphasised.
