President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has enacted a National Security and Defense Council decision imposing sanctions on 10 Russian transport and logistics companies. The measures target firms delivering goods to temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories and providing logistical support to the Russian army.
The Office of the President of Ukraine reported this.
The sanctions list includes private Russian companies that deliver supplies to Russian occupying forces and in the opposite direction. They are described as effectively providing logistical support to Russia’s military.
The package also covers enterprises operating in temporarily occupied territories using seized infrastructure of Ukrposhta. There, they not only distribute pensions and other payments but also act as passport offices, illegally issuing passports and draft notices.
In addition, sanctions were imposed on postal operators that created channels for so-called parallel imports of dual-use goods, including electronics and drones, bypassing existing restrictions.
Presidential adviser on sanctions policy Vladyslav Vlasiuk said postal services play a special role in delivering microelectronics from abroad.
“It is abnormal that a microchip can be sent by mail from Germany to Moscow. The sanctions are also aimed at restricting these supply channels. The relevant information has already been shared with partners,” he said.
