Britain: New law provides for tougher sanctions against Moscow

A new British law extending the scope of Russia-linked sanctions could be imposed if Moscow decides to invade Ukraine.

London has pledged that the law would allow it to impose severe sanctions on those close to the Kremlin involved in destabilizing Ukraine. The law is part of an international effort to outline the economic consequences for Russia.

Russia denies intending to invade Ukraine.

The law, which was released today, authorizes sanctions against those close to the Kremlin who have been “involved in destabilizing Ukraine, undermining it, threatening Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty or independence, or gaining benefits, or the Russian Government “.
