Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that toward Saturday morning Russia launched another large-scale attack on Ukraine, using more than 400 drones and around 40 different types of missiles.

Stressing that the production of these weapons is impossible without critical foreign components that Russia continues to obtain by circumventing sanctions, Zelensky said, “It is precisely against such companies—component suppliers and missile and drone manufacturers—that we are imposing new sanctions. I have signed the relevant decisions.”

Zelensky added that a second decision covers sanctions targeting Russia’s financial sector, stating:

“This list also includes companies through which payments are made for the supply of components used in the production of Russian missiles and drones. Sanctions have also been imposed on organizations that support Russia’s cryptocurrency market and mining activities. Some of these decisions will be included in the European Union’s 20th sanctions package, which is already in its final stage.”
