Details: The list includes Russian propagandists, collaborators and their superiors who work in Russia-occupied territories of Crimea, as well as in the occupied parts Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts, and the companies which facilitate communications, and therefore the broadcast of propaganda.

Among the top officials who got sanctioned there are Dmitry Medvedev’s son Illia; Viktor Afzalov, Head of the General Staff of Airspace Forces of Russia; Alexey Shaposhnikov, Head of the Moscow City Duma; and all the members of the Central Electoral Commission of Russia.

Several members of the Russian Military-Industrial Commission, the Russian Rosfinmonitoring financial regulator and its head Yuri Chikhanchin, as well as heads of a number of defence companies were sanctioned. Among them is Boris Obnosov, CEO of JSC Tactical Missiles Corporation (KTRV), who had been sanctioned by Czechia earlier.

Sanctions were also imposed on a number of companies of the Russian military industrial complex, mainly JSC Spetsmash, the Perm City Gunpowder Plant, the Uraltransmash plant, PJSC Tupolev, the Kazan Helicopter Plant, the Tula Arms Plant. The restrictions target a few Russian military and private military companies involved in the aggression against Ukraine, specifically the co-founder of Private Military Company Redut, Anatoly Karaziy.

The sanctions against the Russian Alabuga special economic zone and legal persons connected to it were mentioned separately – as it is known, Russia wants to extend the production of Iran-made Shahed drones there. The propagandistic TV-channels Spas and Tsargrad were also sanctioned.

In total, over 60 individuals and more than 80 legal entities were added to the sanctions list.

Earlier it was reported that the Council of the European Union completed the process of adopting the 12th package of sanctions against Russia on Monday, 18 December.
