Sanctions against Russia – at a glance
The UK has imposed sanctions which freeze the assets and impose a travel ban on eight named individuals and 11 businesses including six banks. Hundreds more individuals sitting on Russia’s Dumas will also face sanctions. Individuals will be banned from all UK transactions – meaning those with children in UK private schools will be unable to pay future fees. Relatives will not, however, be sanctioned personally.
