UK Government Introduces Legislation to Maintain Sanctions Against Russia Until Compensation is Paid to Ukraine

The new legislation will allow the British government to maintain sanctions by amending the purposes of the Russia sanctions.

The UK has frozen more than £18 billion in assets and sanctioned over 1,550 Russian individuals since the invasion of Ukraine last year.

The British government has also announced a new way for sanctioned Russians who say they support Ukraine to donate their frozen funds for Ukrainian reconstruction.
