National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC)

Rule Changes

Active; primary sanctions decision-making body

Ukraine first passed sanctions legislation in 2014 after Russia annexed Crimea. Twelve years and a full-scale invasion later, Kyiv is targeting the cryptocurrency networks and third-country shell companies that funnel billions of dollars to Russian missile factories. On February 8, 2026, President Zelenskyy signed decrees sanctioning 128 individuals and 97 legal entities—including the A7 crypto ecosystem, which Ukrainian officials say processed billions for weapons procurement.
