00:01More than 50 military industrial entities and actors involved in the production of Russia's
00:08long-range drones have been targeted in the 21st package of sanctions against Russia.
00:14It includes over 30 designations targeting the manufacturing and supply network of the
00:20long-range Garpiya drones, as Ukraine has faced immense pressure from long-range attack drones,
00:25a senior EU official said. Companies producing warheads, rocket boosters, catapults and other
00:33parts necessary for the deployment of the long-range weapons are included. The sanctions package also
00:39targets Russia's rival to the Starlink satellite system, known as the Razvet. The low-Earth orbit
00:45satellite system Razvet, produced by Russian aerospace company Bureau 1440, aims to provide
00:52Russians with high-speed internet access. 16 of these satellites were first launched into orbit
00:59in March 2026, with the aim to have 250 in orbit in 2027 and 900 by 2035. This measure could
01:08weaken
01:08Russia's battlefield abilities, as Moscow's access loss to Starlink in February has had serious
01:14implications on its battlefield performance.
