New British sanctions target foreign military supplies to Russia

Aug 09, 2023

London [UK], August 9:Britain said it is targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin's access to foreign military supplies by imposing 25 new sanctions on individuals and businesses.
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said the action will "further diminish" Russia's arsenal and shows there is "nowhere to hide" for those assisting the illegal invasion of Ukraine.
Those sanctioned include companies based outside Russia but said to be supplying drones and microelectronics to Putin's defence industry, the Foreign Office said. Three Russian companies operating in the electronics sector have also been sanctioned for their role in procuring western microelectronics. Sanctions include asset freezes and travel bans. Those targeted by the latest UK action include: two Turkey-based businesses said to be exporting microelectronics to Russia; a Dubai-based supplier of drones and drone components; and a Slovakian national.
