President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed decrees enacting decisions of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to impose sanctions on Russian entities and individuals helping produce Russian ballistic missiles, as well as those supplying Russia’s defense industry with equipment and components for military aircraft, armored vehicles, missile weapons, and drones.
The first sanctions list includes 51 individuals and 44 legal entities involved in the production of ballistic missiles that Russia uses to attack critical and civilian infrastructure, shell Ukrainian cities and communities, and kill people. These include key enterprises that produce and supply raw materials, equipment, and tools used to manufacture long-range weapons such as Iskander, Kalibr, Kh-101, and Kinzhal missiles.
The sanctions package includes, in particular, the following enterprises and their executives: Research Institute of Plastic Materials named after G. S. Petrov – Russia’s sole manufacturer of a range of components for composite materials supplied to plants in the defense, aerospace, aviation, and shipbuilding industries; Corporation of Special Purpose Space Systems "Kometa" – the main enterprise of a research and production group that manufactures surface-to-air missile systems, radar equipment, and onboard equipment systems; VitaReaktiv – a company specializing in chemical raw materials and involved in the production of ballistic missile weapons; Promenergo – a company that develops optical, laser, and optoelectronic devices and information and targeting systems, and tests onboard equipment; Kirov Biochemical Plant – a company involved in the production and modernization of weapons and military equipment; and D.I. Mendeleyev Institute for Metrology – an institution that conducts scientific research, manufactures measuring equipment, and develops software for weapons and military equipment.
Sanctions have also been imposed on 32 Russian citizens and 35 Russian companies. Among them are enterprises involved in the production and supply chains of high-precision industrial equipment, tools, and components, as well as electronics and raw materials for entities serving Russia’s military-industrial complex.
These include Gagaring, which specializes in selling communications and control hardware for FPV drones; Virgin-EK, which supplies foreign electronic components to Russian invaders; and Pressmash Machine Tool Association, which specializes in the wholesale trade of metalworking machinery supplied to plants involved in producing Kh-101 and Kh-59 missiles and Orion UAVs.
Sanctions have also been imposed on enterprises belonging to the Russian industrial group RUSAL, which are important to the aggressor state and are involved in the production of military aircraft, armored vehicles, missile weapons, drones, and other military products. From April 2024 to March 2025, United Company RUSAL – Trading House and RUSAL Taishet Aluminium Smelter alone imported aluminum oxide worth nearly 150 million rubles into Russia. These supplies of raw materials were used in the production of military aircraft, missile weapons, armored vehicles, and drones.
“We are systematically identifying and imposing sanctions on enterprises involved in producing Russian ballistic missiles and other weapons. We are working to extend these sanctions to other jurisdictions. Together, these measures should significantly weaken the Russian military-industrial complex’s ability to produce weapons,” said Advisor – Commissioner of the President of Ukraine for Sanctions Policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk.
