President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced “sanction measures” against the Russian oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil, as well as sanctions targeting “Russian killers who systematically destroy Ukrainians using drones.”
The corresponding decrees, No. 870/2025 and No. 871/2025, were published on the website of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
“In line with the pressure applied by our partners on Russia over this war, Ukraine has synchronized sanctions with the United States and imposed restrictions on Rosneft, its enterprises, and companies within the Lukoil group. These sanctions are already significantly depriving the Russian war machine of funds, and this must continue,” Zelensky wrote on his Telegram.
The annex to the decree lists 26 Russian legal entities that are part of the above-mentioned companies.
Zelensky also announced sanctions against 36 individuals and 13 Russian legal entities involved in organizing drone attacks on Ukraine.
“Ukraine is also imposing sanctions on Russian killers who organize the systematic destruction of Ukrainians with drones. We will coordinate these sanctions with our partners so that the world applies pressure on the aggressor in the way needed to weaken Russia’s ability to fight, and so that Russian killers truly feel the pressure,” the President stated.
He also outlined key priorities for Ukraine’s sanctions policy through the end of the year.
“I have set the key priorities for our sanctions policy until the end of the year: further synchronization of sanctions with partners, preparation of the EU’s 20th sanctions package, tightening restrictions on the shadow fleet, Russian military production, collaborators, and propagandists. Our next sanction steps will follow soon,” Zelensky added.
