President Zelenskyy issued decrees imposing sanctions on 20 individuals and 99 entities (39 individuals and 60 companies). The sanctions target Russian artists, including Nikita Dzhigurda, Nikolai Rastorguev, Alexander Rosenbaum, Igor Sukachov, and Shaman (Yaroslav Dronov), as well as Chinese companies. The sanctions include asset freezes, preventing capital transfers outside Ukraine, and, in some cases, the revocation of Ukrainian state awards. Some sanctions are indefinite, while others are for 10 years.
The sanctions also target Chinese companies, further highlighting concerns about China's role in supplying materials to Russia for the war. Zelenskyy mentioned prior intelligence indicating China's supply of gunpowder and artillery to Russia, promising more details the following week.
