Brussels Lists 1,569 Russian Arms Makers and Their Bosses as Washington Sanctions the ICC Itself

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2281 adds 826 entities and 743 persons to Annex I of the Ukraine regime. The basis is Moscow's own paperwork: every company appears on a list the Russian Government drew up of military-industrial enterprises whose staff qualify for federal housing subsidies, and each person is listed as a general director or other head of one or more of them. 578 are joint stock companies and 222 limited liability companies; 161 are registered in Moscow, 122 in St Petersburg and 75 in the Moscow region. The list runs from the United Rocket and Space Corporation and the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences to radio, optics and microelectronics plants, the Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology and the Black Sea Fleet's ship repair yard in Sevastopol. Every company carries its OGRN and INN and every executive a tax number.

The same day the Council listed 77 people over the September State Duma 'elections' Russia held in occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson and Crimea: 74 candidates from United Russia, the Communist Party, Just Russia, the LDPR, New People and three smaller parties, and three members of Russia's Central Election Commission. Under its DPRK regime it listed missile specialist Ri Song Jin, stationed near the front line in Ukraine; Paekyangsan Shipping, whose tanker carries Russian refined products to North Korea; the developer Samolet Group and its chief executive Anna Akinshina, for using North Korean workers in Vladivostok; and the Black Horse group, its subsidiary Golden Autumn and founder Vladimir Sokolov. In Washington the State Department designated the International Criminal Court itself on 9 October, OFAC issued four general licences so the Court can keep operating, and one Burmese individual came off the SDN List.
