It is a common task of weapons manufacturers, our government officials and all those involved - to make this year a record for drones of all kinds, as well as to significantly increase the production of Ukrainian missiles, artillery, all necessary equipment. I instructed to increase the number of drones orders. This is already done. Our arsenals are one of the guarantees of independence, as well as the accuracy of our soldiers.
And I thank all our units that strike in Russia: by military objects, by military logistics of the occupier. There should be such important results. There is also a good sanction blow this week, I am grateful to my partners for it. There are American sanctions against Russia's oil sector - sanctions against a shadow tanker fleet, against companies, such as "Surgityftegaz" - a personal wallet of Putin.
I also thank the sanctions against Rosatom's functionaries, and it is important to press on the Russian "atom" for being held by our Zaporizhzhya nuclear station in hostages. The United Kingdom also takes its new sanction steps to limit Moscow's income from energy resources. There is a new sanction package from Japan against Russian weapons production: the supply of components is limited, some important schemes that support Russian weapons production.
These days, during a visit to Italy, they also spoke, in particular, about sanctions. Italy in principle supports this pressure on Russia. I thank you for the help in blocking the Russian schemes of bypassing the sanctions. Also for working together in the EU to continue all forms of coercion of Russia to peace. Today, the Minister of Defense Umerov also reported to Ramstin's negotiations with partners: our defensive coalitions - they work effectively. And another result of this week.
Our boys from the forces of special operations, namely the tactical group No. 84, as well as the dealer warriors captured two soldiers from North Korea. They are alive and already delivered to Kyiv. They were taken prisoner in Kurshchyna, and it was not easy: others from North Korea and Russians try to produce their wounded Koreans - that they are not captured. Now these two receive medical care, communicate with the SBU investigators.
