Ukraine imposes sanctions on Russian shadow fleet and military personnel

The first sanctions package targets 127 Russian military personnel allegedly involved in large-scale strikes on Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure, including:

the strike on the Okhmatdyt National Children's Specialized Hospital children’s hospital in Kyiv on July 8, 2024;

the attack on a residential high-rise in Ternopil on Nov. 19, 2025;

the strike on the village of Hroza in October 2023;

the bombing of Mariupol using FAB-1500 and FAB-3000 guided bombs.

The second sanctions package targets 29 civilian commercial vessels that Russia is believed to use for transporting weapons, ammunition, military equipment and personnel.

Most of the vessels are already under sanctions imposed by the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom.

“Sanctions are a tool for systematically limiting Russia’s ability to wage war. One of today’s packages highlights the channels used to supply weapons to the Russian army. The other personally targets those who give orders and carry out missile terror against Ukrainian cities,” Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the Ukrainian president’s commissioner for sanctions policy, said. “This is increasing the cost of aggression for Russia.”
