President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his nightly video address, according to Ukrinform.

"Our sanctions against Russian oil refineries and other facilities in Russia's oil sector, our mid-range strikes against Russian military logistics, and our operation in the waters of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov – all of this is working to limit Russia's war potential. It is important to continue this with more active political and legal measures as well," he said.

He recalled that Ukraine had imposed a sanctions package today targeting companies and vessels involved in exporting grain and other goods stolen in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

"We are preparing new sanctions packages against Russia's war industry, financial chains, and intermediaries. Unfortunately, a significant number of Russian enterprises working for the war are still not under international sanctions, and this must be corrected during August and September. We will raise this with leaders at all working levels," Zelensky said.

He also emphasized a direct task for Ukrainian diplomats: "In major jurisdictions around the world, sanctions are imposed on those Russian companies and individuals, as well as those who help Russia, whose influence truly matters in terms of prolonging this war and producing Russian missiles and drones."
