More than 1,000 individuals and other entities have been hit with sanctions by the UK since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss announced on Tuesday, as the British government ratcheted up the economic pressure on the Russian President’s regime.
Ms Truss announced that a further 370 Russian oligarchs and their family members along with close political allies of President Putin, and what the Foreign Office described as “propagandists”, had been hit by sanctions.
