## 🎯 Key Points

- The EU added 5 Russian citizens linked to missile and drone production to the sanctions list.
- Sanctions were imposed in response to intensified missile terror and attacks on Kyiv, where people were killed.
- Manufacturers of 'Iskander-M' and 'Sarmat' missiles are under restrictions.
- Kaja Kallas stated that the EU will continue pressure until the war ends.

### New sanctions package: response to missile terror

The European Union has decided to introduce another package of restrictive measures against the Russian Federation. Five new individuals involved in the defense industry have been added to the sanctions list. According to official statements from Brussels, the reason for the new restrictions is the sharp intensification of Moscow's terrorist activity aimed at destroying Ukraine's civilian population and critical infrastructure. The imposition of sanctions is a direct reaction to a series of massive strikes on Ukrainian cities, particularly the capital.

### Sanctions targets: manufacturers of 'Iskander' and 'Sarmat'

Among those subject to personal restrictions are key figures in the production of strategic weapons. The list includes Ramil Badgutdinov, who heads a company assisting in the production of 'Iskander-M' ballistic missiles. Also subject to restrictions is Alexander Dyukarev, director of the 'KrasMash' plant, which specializes in the production of 'Sarmat' intercontinental ballistic missiles. Although Russia has not yet used the 'Sarmat' directly on Ukrainian territory, Moscow is actively testing these missiles, causing serious concern in European capitals.

### Other figures and the link to attacks on Kyiv

The other three individuals on the new list are directors of Russian defense enterprises engaged in the development of communication systems, software for unmanned aerial vehicles, and military space technologies. The EU press release does not mention a specific attack as the sole reason; however, the context of events is obvious: earlier this week, Russia carried out one of the deadliest shelling attacks on Kyiv, resulting in 17 deaths. This is not an isolated incident: a similar attack in July cost the lives of 12 residents of the Ukrainian capital.

### EU position and Kaja Kallas

The head of EU foreign policy, Kaja Kallas, voiced Brussels' tough stance in response to the escalation. 'Stuck on the battlefield, Moscow is further intensifying its campaign of terror against the civilian population. The EU must continue to increase pressure on Russia until Moscow ends its war,' she wrote. This is not the first time the EU has imposed targeted sanctions specifically due to shelling of Kyiv. In July, restrictions were imposed on companies from the ABS Electro group, which produce components for 'Shahed' and 'Geran' drones.
