Quote from Zelenskyy: "Overnight into Saturday, Russia carried out another massive attack on Ukraine, deploying over 400 drones and nearly 40 missiles of various types. Producing this weaponry would be impossible without critical foreign components, which the Russians continue to obtain by circumventing sanctions. We are introducing new sanctions precisely against such companies – component suppliers, as well as missile and drone manufacturers."

Details: Zelenskyy added that another decree imposes sanctions on the Russian financial sector, covering companies through which payments are made for components used in the manufacture of Russian missiles and drones.

Quote: "Sanctions have also been imposed on agencies that support Russia's crypto market and mining operations. Some of these decisions will be included in the European Union's 20th sanctions package, which is already in its final stage.

We continue synchronisation with our partners and increase pressure on the aggressor. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine."

Background: On the night of 7-8 February, Russian forces attacked Ukraine with 101 drones, including about 70 Shahed loitering munitions. Ukraine's Air Force reported that 69 of them had been shot down or jammed.
