UK expands sanctions against individuals, legal entities for Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
The British government has imposed new sanctions against Russian and Ukrainian individuals and legal entities for their involvement in Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
That's according to a press release published on the website of the British government, Ukrinform reports.
A total of 65 individuals and legal entities are subject to new restrictive measures.
According to the press release, the expanded sanctions list includes Galina Danilchenko, a member of parliament from the Opposition Bloc, who was appointed a so-called acting mayor of Melitopol, Polina Kovaleva, stepdaughter of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Sberbank president Herman Gref, and Oleg Tinkov, founder of Tinkoff Bank.
Restrictive measures also target a number of legal entities, including Alfa-Bank, Alrosa, the world’s largest diamond mining company specializing in exploration, mining, manufacture, and sale of diamonds, Russian Railways, defense company Kronshtadt, the main producer of Russian drones, and the Wagner Group.
"All those sanctioned today will have their assets in the UK frozen which means no UK citizen or company can do business with them, and individuals subject to travel bans are also prohibited from travelling to or from the UK," said UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss.
