On June 20, 2025, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky enacted a decision by the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) to impose sanctions on individuals and legal entities involved in the development and production of drones in Russia and those engaged in schemes to circumvent international sanctions.

The respective decree No. 415/2025 "On the Decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine dated June 20, 2025" has been published on the official website of the president.

The new sanctions list includes 56 individuals and 55 legal entities.

The President's Office notes that the new sanctions target individuals who:

• were involved in the development of drones like "Geran", "Orlan-10", SuperCam, and others;
• worked on the development of FPV systems;
• supplied products to LLC "Alabuga Machinery";
