Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine has implemented more than 15,000 sanctions against Russia, over 3,000 of which were imposed on entities directly involved in the Russian military-industrial complex.
This was announced by Deputy Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Serhii Naumyuk, at the “Fair Play: Honest Game” conference on expanding sanctions against Russia.
"The SSU continuously initiates sanctions against individuals and legal entities involved in military production. Since February 2022, over 15,000 sanctions have been imposed, 94% of which were based on SSU submissions. More than 3,000 of those entities are directly connected to Russia’s military-industrial complex — producers of equipment and munitions, missile developers, companies whose products are integrated into the military supply chain, importers, and others," Naumyuk said.
He added that since the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has synchronized over 2,000 sanctions with foreign partners.
"As a result of international cooperation, we blocked the delivery of 253,000 servomotors that were meant for Iran to be used in Shahed-136 drones. This helped reduce the number of drones produced by around 60,000 units," he said.
Among the Russian enterprises targeted by sanctions are the state machine-building design bureau Raduga, the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol, the state corporation Rostec, and the Tactical Missiles Corporation, among others.
"As a result of sanctions, Russia's defense industry faces logistical issues, increased raw material and component costs, and a general decline in product quality. All of this directly impacts its military capabilities," Naumyuk said.
He also highlighted SSU operations that undermine the enemy's military capacity, such as Operation “Spiderweb,” which destroyed 41 enemy combat aircraft, the strike on the Crimean Bridge, and the continued use of Sea Baby naval drones against Russia’s Black Sea Fleet.
Naumyuk emphasized the effectiveness of SSU’s deep-strike sanctions on oil refineries, defense-industrial facilities, arsenals, and storage depots in enemy territory — such as the destruction of 120 mm mortar rounds worth over $5 billion in Toropets — which significantly reduced Russian ammunition supplies to the front. He confirmed that this line of work will continue.
