Ukraine has imposed sanctions against Russian and Iranian companies and individuals servicing Russia’s military-industrial complex, as well as against Paralympi

This was reported by the Office of the President on March 15.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed the relevant decrees putting into effect decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.

The sanctions package related to the Russian military-industrial complex includes 130 individuals and 48 legal entities.

Among them are enterprises involved in producing the “Oreshnik” missile system and companies supplying components for “Kometa” satellite navigation equipment, which is used in Russian drones, cruise and ballistic missiles, guided munitions, and aircraft used to strike Ukrainian cities and communities.

The list also includes Iranian companies and citizens involved in producing Iranian drones and missiles used not only against Ukraine but also in the Middle East against Gulf countries.

“These entities helped Russia launch, deploy, and scale up the production of ‘Shahed’ drones in Russia.

Sanctions were also imposed on Iranian instructors who trained Russian Shahed operators who later attacked Ukrainian cities and energy facilities”, — the Office of the President stated.

Another sanctions decision concerns 10 Russian Paralympic athletes, all of whom participated in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and spread Russian propaganda.

They use sporting events as a platform to whitewash Russian crimes and occupation.
