- Decree 870/2025 mirrors U.S. measures by sanctioning 26 Russian energy-sector entities, including Rosneft, its subsidiaries, and Lukoil-group companies.
- Ukrainian officials note the aligned U.S. actions targeted segments covering roughly 55% of Russia’s oil production.
- Decree 871/2025 designates 36 individuals and 13 entities tied to Russian drone development, testing, training, and operations, including figures linked to the Rubikon center.
