Russia: Orthodox Church
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to freeze the assets of the Russian Orthodox Church in the UK.
- Answer
-
Since Russia's invasion, the UK has issued travel bans and asset freezes to over a thousand of Russia's most significant and high-value individuals and over 100 of its businesses. With our allies, we are and continue to impose the largest and most severe economic sanctions that Russia has ever faced, focusing on measures that have the greatest impact rather than the quantity. It is not appropriate to speculate on specific designations in the future. To do this could reduce the impact of the designations.
