On May 9, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy imposed NSDC sanctions on 58 Russian citizens and 74 companies, most of which are related to the Russian military-industrial complex. Among them are those part of the Trap Aggressor investigations.

The sanctions list also included three companies from Iran and Uzbekistan, as well as one company from Hong Kong. The Chinese Smart Kit Technology Limited was involved in the supply of electronic integrated circuits to the Russian Federation. The Iranian Alvand Motorbuilding Industries Company is a manufacturer of UAVs. The Uzbek Fergana Chemical Plant and Raw Materials Cellulose appeared in journalistic investigations as enterprises that supply cotton pulp to Russian gunpowder factories both directly and through private intermediaries.

Among the persons who were part of the Trap Aggressor investigations, the following were included in the sanctions lists:

• Stupinskaya Metallurgical Company. A key producer of alloys for the Russian military-industrial complex, in particular for rocket engines and combat aircraft. Until July 2024, the company imported European raw materials through partners in Turkey, China, Italy, and Israel. Sometimes, bypassing international sanctions.
