The bill prepared in the UK on sanctions against Russia in the event of its aggression against Ukraine will affect companies and individuals that are "significant to the Kremlin," Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom Liz Truss promised earlier.

“And we will do this (impose sanctions. -), only if there is an invasion of Ukraine. We do not want this, we do not want to impose sanctions, we would prefer to have good relations with Russia. I have no disagreements with the Russian people, ”she outlined the position of the British government.

The reason for the development of the bill was London's continuing concern about Russia's plans for Ukraine. “We are very concerned about Russia's military buildup near the border with Ukraine. And we clearly say that if this happens, sanctions will follow. But so far they have not been introduced,” the minister said.
