Ukraine Rolls Out New Sanctions, Says Oil Curbs Are Costing Russia $50 Billion a Year

Kyiv advances EU coordination, presses for tighter enforcement, circulates a list of over 300 abducted children.

Overview

  • Presidential decrees Nos. 810/2025 and 811/2025 impose sanctions on 24 individuals and 31 companies from Russia, China and Iran tied to propaganda and military supply chains.
  • Zelensky announced additional decisions targeting more than 50 individuals, mostly Russians involved in the war effort, defence production and pro‑war media, with lists to be shared with partners.
  • Ukraine’s intelligence and the president estimate recent restrictions, particularly on oil firms, will inflict at least $50 billion in annual losses on Russia, with a possible 2026 budget deficit of $100–130 billion.
  • The government completed preparations to align the EU’s 19th sanctions package within Ukraine’s jurisdiction and has submitted proposals for a 20th package while coordinating with the United States.
  • The Foreign Intelligence Service compiled a first list of 300‑plus children allegedly abducted by Russia to deliver to partner state leaders to support return efforts and legal accountability.
