According to reports reaching oyogist.com, the UK has announced sanctions on 386 Russian politicians who supported Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine
The sanctions ranges from ban on travel to the UK and immediate freezing of assets for those members of the Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, who voted for the independence of separatist regions Luhansk and Donetsk.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said the UK was “targeting those complicit in Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and those who support this barbaric war”.
“We will not let up the pressure and will continue to tighten the screw on the Russian economy through sanctions,” she said.
“Together with our allies, we stand firmly beside our Ukrainian friends. We will continue to support Ukraine with humanitarian aid, defensive weapons and diplomatic work to isolate Russia internationally.”
