Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (GUR) says more than half of the companies of Russia’s Uralvagonzavod, part of the state-owned conglomerate Rostec, are not under international sanctions.
Ukraine’s intelligence service disclosed new details about Uralvagonzavod, saying more than 20 enterprises that supply armored vehicles to Russia’s military have yet to be sanctioned by countries in the international coalition, according to GUR’s press service.
On its War&Sanctions website, the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry published a detailed list of 41 enterprises that are part of or managed by Uralvagonzavod.
Uralvagonzavod is the armored-vehicle holding of the state corporation Rostec and plays a key role in supplying Russia’s armed forces. Its plants produce and modernize T-72B3M, T-80BVM, T-90M, and T-90MS “Proryv” tanks; the TOS-1A “Solntsepek” heavy flamethrower system; tank support fighting vehicles (BMPT); and armored recovery vehicles (BREM).
The conglomerate also manufactures railcars for transporting personnel and military equipment under contracts with Russia’s Defense Ministry.
Since 2022, Uralvagonzavod holding have sharply reduced production of civilian railcars, focusing instead on defense orders.
Despite the holding’s strategic role in Russia’s war against Ukraine, 23 of its enterprises remain unsanctioned by any country in the coalition. They include a design bureau that developed rail platforms for transporting Russian tanks, manufacturers of training stands and simulators for armored-vehicle crews, and companies supplying resources, equipment, and related services.
The War&Sanctions portal’s “Aggressor’s defense industry” section now lists 429 enterprises that are part of or managed by five Rostec holdings. For each, it provides identification data, functions within the holding, organizational links and subordination, and information on applied sanctions.
Publishing this data is intended to help businesses vet counterparties and end cooperation with companies that directly support Russia’s military aggression, and to support the synchronization of sanctions policy among Ukraine’s partner countries.
