UK announces largest package of sanctions against Russia in three years

On Monday, February 24, the United Kingdom imposed a large-scale package of sanctions against Russia since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

This is reported on the website of the British government, Censor.NET reports.

Thus, Britain has included 107 individuals and legal entities in the sanctions lists.

Manufacturers and suppliers of machine tools, electronics, and dual-use goods for the Russian army were also subject to restrictions. They are based in Central Asia, Turkey, Thailand, India, and China.

In addition, sanctions have been imposed on 40 shadow fleet vessels that Russia uses to transport oil.

In the last six months alone, these vessels together have transported more than $5 billion worth of Russian oil and oil products, the report said.

The sanctions also apply to North Korea's defense minister and other North Korean officials involved in sending 11,000 DPRK military personnel to Russia.

Sanctions were also imposed on 13 Russian companies, including Grant-Trade LLC, whose owners, Marat Mustafayev and his sister Dinara Mustafayeva, used the company to transfer advanced European technologies to Russia.

The UK has also imposed sanctions on 14 people, some of whom are involved in the development of strategic sectors of the Russian economy. Among them is Roman Trotsenko, one of the richest men in Russia, whose fortune is estimated at £2.2 billion. He owns the Novaport airport network.

As reported, on the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the EU Council adopted the 16th package of economic and individual sanctions against Moscow. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3537647
