Chechnya and Russia: Sanctions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of implementing broad sanctions against Russian and Chechen service personnel and Commanders involved in the siege of Mariupol.
- Answer
-
We have now sanctioned over 1200 individuals and entities since Putin's invasion of Ukraine. We are focusing our efforts on those measures which will have the biggest impact. The UK has targeted Russia's political elite, introduced powers to cut off the Russian banking sector from the UK, and introduced restrictive trade measures. We have acted against the people and entities who facilitate the war in Ukraine and the harmful activities of the Russian Government. We will not comment on future sanctions but, as our recent announcements have shown, nothing and no one is off the table.
