Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich was finally slapped with sanctions the day after pal Vladimir Putin bombed a maternity hospital in Ukraine.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said Abramovich and six other oligarchs were sanctioned to “ramp up the pressure on the Putin regime and choke off funds to his brutal war machine”.
She said: “With their close links to Putin they are complicit in his aggression. The blood of the Ukrainian people is on their hands. They should hang their heads in shame.”
