Details: The sanctions package targeting the Russian military-industrial complex includes 26 individuals and 31 legal entities. Among them are companies producing unmanned underwater, surface and aerial robotic systems, as well as software for them.

The list also includes companies that produce and service various types of weapons, including electronic warfare systems, air defence weapons systems, armoured vehicles, submarines, ships, auxiliary fleet vessels, port equipment and parts for them.

In addition, sanctions were imposed on companies in the aviation manufacturing sector, including producers and repairers of parts for helicopters of the Mi-8, Mi-17, Mi-171, Mi-172 and Mi-14 series.

Another sanctions decision concerns seven individuals and 11 legal entities. These are companies and their managers who help circumvent sanctions. Among them are manufacturers of parts for Kh-101, Kh-59M2/M2A and Iskander-K missiles.

The list also includes companies illegally conducting business in the temporarily occupied territories and those involved in the construction of the Crimean Bridge.

The statement said Ukraine will pass on all necessary information to partners in order to synchronise sanctions across international jurisdictions.
