Foreign Secretary Liz Truss of the United Kingdom expressed confidence that sanctions against Russian businesspeople imposed in response to military action in Ukraine would not be canceled. ”It was just brought to our attention at the time. These elites have given Vladimir Putin carte blanche to do anything he wants. His hands are stained with blood ”When asked if Russian businesspeople would face penalties, Truss assured the New York Times that they would.
She also stated that FC Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, a Russian businessman, is unlikely to return to the UK. On February 24, Russia began a military intervention in Ukraine in support of the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. Russia’s military involvement in Ukraine has been roundly criticized by Western nations, who have slapped sanctions on Moscow.
