Great Britain imposed new sanctions against Russia:/Collage of Channel 24
< strong _ngcontent-sc86="">Great Britain has imposed new sanctions against Russia. The aggressor state was banned from using British management consulting, accounting and PR services.
The British government announced 63 new restrictions. In particular, a travel ban and an asset freeze for Russian propagandists.
London will put even more pressure on the Kremlin
British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss explained that the country is stopping the export of services that are “critical for the Russian economy.” This applies to the field of media. 10% of Russian imports in these sectors account for accounting, management consulting and PR services.
Truss noted that doing business with the Putin regime helps finance the war machine that causes untold suffering to Ukraine.
