The measures target the production and supply chains that sustain Russia's missile, drone, military aviation and armored-vehicle programs. The sanctions cover individuals and entities linked to ballistic missile production as well as suppliers of drone communications equipment, foreign electronics, machine tools and aluminum oxide. Ukrainian officials say the restrictions are intended to substantially weaken Russia's capacity to produce weapons, and Ukraine is seeking to extend them to other jurisdictions.

On 24 October, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed decrees No. 1058/2026 and No. 1059/2026, putting into effect National Security and Defense Council decisions on sanctions. The first list covers 51 individuals and 44 legal entities associated with the manufacture of ballistic missiles used in attacks on Ukrainian critical and civilian infrastructure, cities and communities. A separate sanctions package targets 32 Russian citizens and 35 Russian companies involved in the production and supply of industrial equipment, tools, electronics and raw materials for Russia's defense-industrial complex.

Among the sanctioned entities are "Gagaring," which supplies communications and control equipment for FPV drones; "Virgin-EC," which supplies foreign electronic components to the Russian military; and the "Pressmash" machine-tool association, which supplies metalworking machinery to plants producing X-101 and X-59 missiles and "Orion" drones. Sanctions were also applied to the "G. S. Petrov Plastics Institute," the "Kometa" Special Purpose Space Systems Corporation, "VitaReactiv," "Promenergo," the Kirov Biochemical Plant and the Mendeleev All-Russian Metrology Research Institute.

Sanctions were imposed on enterprises of the Russian industrial group RUSAL, whose products are used in military aviation, armored vehicles, missile weapons and drones. Between April 2024 and March 2025, the RUSAL United Trading Company and the RUSAL Taishet Aluminum Plant imported nearly 150 million rubles worth of aluminum oxide into Russia, and the material was used in the production of military aviation, missile weapons, armored vehicles and drones.

Ukrainian coverage emphasizes the presidential decrees, the scale of the sanctions lists, the military-industrial links of the sanctioned entities and the claimed effect of the measures on weapons production. Reports connect the sanctions to Russian attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure, cities and communities, and detail companies supplying drones, electronics, machinery, raw materials and military systems. Ukrainian officials describe continued identification of targets and efforts to extend sanctions to other jurisdictions.

The package was approved through decisions of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council and put into effect by presidential decrees. Sanctioned organizations include suppliers and producers connected to ballistic missiles, surface-to-air missile systems, drones, military aviation, armored vehicles, optical and targeting systems, chemical raw materials and measurement equipment. Earlier, in September, Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence published information about 23 Russian enterprises involved in production cooperation for the 95Ya6 guided surface-to-air missiles used in "Pantsir" systems. On 8 February, Zelenskyy had announced sanctions against companies and individuals involved in producing Russian missiles and drones and supplying foreign components, as well as against Russian financial structures used to pay for such deliveries and companies linked to cryptocurrency and mining in Russia.
