We take a look at those blacklisted by the US, EU and UK so far
The west has broadened its sanctions against politicians, businesses and individuals with links to Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine. However, the EU has accused the UK government – which has a list of more than 100 Russian oligarchs facing sanctions over the coming weeks – of lagging behind in taking action.
The UK government said it had sanctioned 13 leading oligarchs since the invasion began, and there were now 15 on the sanctions list with one of them, Mikhail Gutseriev, sanctioned under the Belarus sanctions regime. The foreign secretary, Liz Truss, is expected to launch an oligarch taskforce “to target Russian elite” next week.
