Decree No. 8/2026 ratifies an NSDC-recommended sanctions tranche under Ukraine's 2014 "On Sanctions" law, the same mechanism used for the near-weekly designation tranches Ukraine issued through late 2025 (e.g. Decrees No. 860/2025, 870/2025, and 871/2025, all already filed in this register). The tranche combines 95 personal designations and 70 legal-entity designations spanning multiple production chains that feed Russia's defense-industrial complex: communications equipment, radio-electronic warfare systems, and microelectronics manufacturers and suppliers, plus chemical, mining, metallurgical, and fuel-and-energy-complex entities. As with prior NSDC tranches, the designation imposes asset freezes and a bar on commercial transactions and investment instruments involving the designees. Severity is set to 3 (quant-anchored on the disclosed designee count — 95 individuals plus 70 entities — a broader multi-sector tranche than the narrower single-topic decrees issued in late 2025).
Ukrainian officials stated an intent to synchronize the designations with partner-country sanctions regimes and to feed some measures into the EU's forthcoming 20th sanctions package.
