Ukraine sanctions Russian arms suppliers as Moscow ramps up attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced new sanctions against Russian individuals and companies involved in the production of military weapons. The sanctions target 51 citizens and 44 businesses linked to ballistic missiles and military equipment. A second list includes 32 citizens and 35 companies connected to Russia's military-industrial complex. Ukraine aims to weaken Russia's arms production capabilities, particularly focusing on RUSAL Group, which supplies materials for military aircraft and drones. These measures come amid increased Russian missile and drone production, contributing to rising civilian casualties in Ukraine.
