Zelensky enacts two sanctions lists
Ukraine imposed new sanctions on Russian citizens and companies it links to weapons production, the presidential office announced on October 24. President Volodymyr Zelensky enacted the measures against suppliers to missile, aircraft, armoured-vehicle and drone production.[1], [2]
Decrees 1058/2026 and 1059/2026 put decisions of Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council into effect. The first list contains 51 people and 44 legal entities; the second covers 32 Russian citizens and 35 Russian companies. The designation reasons are the Ukrainian authorities’ assessments. Companies in the Russian aluminium group RUSAL are also among those designated.[1]
Equipment and electronics suppliers are targeted
Kyiv says the first group supplies materials and equipment for long-range weapons including Iskander, Kalibr, Kh-101 and Kinzhal missiles. It links the second group to industrial machinery, tools, electronics and raw-material supply chains. Ukraine says Gagaring makes drone communications and control equipment, Virgin-EC supplies foreign electronic components to the Russian military and Pressmash provides metalworking machines to missile and drone manufacturers.[1]
RUSAL companies enter the sanctions lists
The presidential office says RUSAL Trading House and the RUSAL Taishet Aluminium Smelter imported nearly 150 million rubles of aluminium oxide between April 2024 and March 2025, alleging that it supported military production. Presidential sanctions adviser Vladyslav Vlasiuk said Ukraine was working to extend the sanctions to other jurisdictions.[1]
