Zelensky Imposes Sanctions on Ten Russian Transport and Logistics Companies

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a decree enacting a decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine to impose sanctions on ten Russian transport and logistics companies that deliver cargo to temporarily occupied territories.

The decree to that effect, No. 212/2026, has been was published on the president’s website, Ukrinform reports.

The sanctions list includes private Russian companies that deliver goods to Russian occupying forces and transport items in the opposite direction. In essence, they provide logistical support to the Russian army.

The sanctions package also includes enterprises operating in temporarily occupied territories using the seized infrastructure of Ukrposhta, Ukraine’s national postal operator. These entities not only distribute pensions and other payments but also function as passport offices, where people are illegally issued Russian passports and handed draft notices.

Postal operators that have created channels for so-called parallel imports of dual-use goods, including electronics and drones, in circumvention of sanctions were also placed under restrictions.

“The special role of postal services lies in the delivery of microelectronics from abroad. It is unacceptable that a microchip can be sent by mail from Germany to Moscow. The sanctions are also aimed at restricting these supply channels. The relevant information has already been shared with partners,” said Vladyslav Vlasiuk, the President’s Commissioner for Sanctions Policy.
