The UK on Thursday imposed a wave of 56 new sanctions against Russia’s military-industrial complex to restrict the supply of vital military equipment for its war with Ukraine.
This is being dubbed as the largest package targeted at President Vladimir Putin’s "war machine" since May last year.
New targets include suppliers supporting Russia’s military production, Russian-backed mercenary groups operating in Sub-Saharan Africa and a GRU Russian spy agent involved in the use of a Novichok nerve agent in the UK city of Salisbury.
