David Lammy will meet the widow of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny on Friday as the UK announces further sanctions on Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.

The Foreign Secretary said the UK would “keep up the pressure on Putin” with sanctions on three men involved in Russia’s defence ministry and extractives industry.
