Britain imposed sanctions targeting companies and individuals involved in Iskander missile supply chains, Kremlin-funded information operations, and financial institutions including the St. Petersburg Currency Exchange and Russian Deposit Insurance Agency, plus 18 shadow fleet vessels.
The restrictions will affect 100 sanctioned targets in the Russian military, energy, financial sectors and those who are waging Putin's information war against Ukraine.
The UK and partners are also working to tighten oil price caps, further restricting critical oil revenues for Putin's war machine.
Today's action targets 46 financial institutions that help Russian attempts to evade sanctions, as well as the St Petersburg Currency Exchange, and the Russian Deposit Insurance Agency which insures Russian banks.
The UK will also sanction 18 more ships in the 'shadow fleet' carrying Russians oil, along with the fleet's enablers.
