The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Kingdom Liz Trails stated that by introducing sanctions against the Russian oligarchs, London “delays the ratchet of the Russian military car.”
“Thus, the United Kingdom aims on the circle of people closest to the Kremlin. We will continue sanctions until Russia fails in Ukraine. Nothing goes without attention,” said the tracks.
She noted that the assets of Russian oligarchs cannot be repatriated back to Russia, and this, in turn, will deprive the Kremlin of additional funds for the war with Ukraine.
In turn, in a statement of the British government, it is said that the sanctions entered by the United Kingdom and its international partners have “deep and destructive consequences for the ability of Russia to lead war.”
“The analysis shows that Russia moves to the deepest recession since the collapse of the Soviet Union, while $ 275 billion pounds – 60% of Russian currency reserves – are currently frozen,” the Government of Great Britain is noted.
Recall that Earlier, London announced the freezing of assets belonging to two comrades of the famous Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich – Yujina Tennbauma and David Davidovich – in the amount of up to 10 billion pounds sterling. The overseas of assets occurred every other day after the Offshore State of Jersey froze the assets in the amount of more than $ 7 billion, presumably associated with Abramovich.
Thus, the total cost of frozen assets reaches $ 20 billion. In addition to the freezing of assets, Davidovich also banned entry to the UK.
