Producing this weaponry would be impossible without critical foreign components, which the Russians continue to obtain by circumventing sanctions, Zelensky wrote on X.
He said Ukraine is introducing new sanctions against companies that continue to supply such components, wittingly or unwittingly, as well as against the missile and drone manufacturers.
Targets include China, Panama, and UAE-based companies.
Russia strikes Ukraine nearly every night, though the frequency and intensity has dropped recently, say experts, as its supplies are running low.
Experts also say recent missiles shot at Ukraine were produced this year, proof that Russia has gone through much of its original stockpile.

Ukraine's largest energy provider, DTEK, said hundreds of Russian drones and missiles targeted the electricity network Saturday, damaging two thermal power plants and key high-voltage substations.
Damage to those substations forced operators to reduce output at nuclear power plants, leading to a significant loss of available electricity in Ukraine.
Ukraine gets about 70% of its electricity from nuclear power.
In his nightly address Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
said Russia continues to attack in massive strikes that are contrary to ongoing diplomatic work to end the war.
This is a level of attack that no terrorist in the world has ever allowed itself, said Zelensky.
Russia, he said, must feel the response of the entire world.
