Details: The measures have been extended to the Akhmat Kadyrov Foundation, the Artek children’s camp, and the Movement of the First organisation.

Several military manufacturers have been targeted by the fresh sanctions, including the Ural Automotive Plant, the Imperial Tula Arms Plant (which produces armoured vehicles), the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant, and the Special Design Bureau of Transport Engineering, a manufacturer of defence equipment.

Quote:"Japan has joined the lowered price cap on Russian oil at the level of US$47.60. 

I also thank Japan for the sanctions against companies of the Russian military-industrial complex. Among them are a key producer of Iskander missiles, several shadow fleet operators, and suppliers for Russia’s military-industrial complex from China, Türkiye, and the UAE. Sanctions were imposed on individuals involved in the deportation of our children. 

… It is important that all other partners in the world who value life and want this war to end also exert pressure on everything that fuels Russia’s ability to continue the killings."
