- Stated grounds
- Alexander Ustinov is a General Director of the Russian military industry company JSC Machine-Building Plant Arsenal. The company is a subject of Russian state defence orders and is engaged in the production of Lotos reconnaissance satellites and AK-176M naval guns. Lotos is used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation during Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine for target identification and AK-176M naval guns are installed in the Russian Navy ships that shell Ukrainian troops. Therefore, Alexander Ustinov is supporting actions which undermine and threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. Furthermore, he is supporting materially and benefitting from the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
