    Ukraine is preparing 'anti-ballistic' sanctions against Russia, aiming to halt the production of Russian rockets. The sanctions are part of a broader strategy that includes unlocking over €200 billion of frozen Russian assets for Ukraine's use. This initiative has been discussed with the German side and is expected to be revisited in Europe with allied support.

Tehran is actively seeking to expand smuggling and sanctions-evasion routes through Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Tajikistan. This strategy aims to address transportation issues involving China and financial issues as the Islamic Republic's southern routes become increasingly limited.
