President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed Decree No. 344/2025, which put into effect the decision of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine dated May 25, 2025 "On the Application of Personal Special Economic and Other Restrictive Measures" against the owner of Pin-Up Dmytro Punin.
The text of the decree was published on the official website of the president. The appendix to the decree states that personal sanctions were applied against three Russian citizens — the owner of Pin-Up Dmitry Punin, Ivan Bannikov and Alexander Matyashov. It was they who were notified of the suspicion by the Prosecutor General's Office, who are the beneficial owners of an illegal online casino, as well as two Ukrainians — the director and the owner of the trademark and domain. They are accused of collecting information, in particular, information about the location of the military Defense Forces.
In addition, the restrictions apply to nine companies. Three of them are registered in Ukraine: Ukr Game Technology, Tranitadevelopment, and Turbo.Ua, which , according to YouControl, is also associated with Punin.
The owner of Ukr Game Technology is Igor Zotko, who was detained by the State Bureau of Investigation at the beginning of the year. PIN-UP Ukraine officially declared its complete non-involvement in any illegal financial transactions and categorically rejected the accusations brought by the State Bureau of Investigation and the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine against the company's owner, Igor Zotko.
Subsequently, the SBI detained the director of the PIN-UP company. He was informed of suspicion of aiding the aggressor state. The SBI noted that PIN-UP's ties with representatives of the Russian Federation and entities subject to sanctions in Ukraine were documented. Financial flows were also established in the interests of filling the Russian budget and supporting armed aggression against Ukraine.
