The UK is imposing sanctions on five Russian banks and three wealthy individuals in response to Vladimir Putin’s military incursion into Ukraine, Boris Johnson has announced, APA reports citing the Independent.
In an emergency statement to the House of Commons, the prime minister said that the movement of Russian armed forces into the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Luhansk amounted a “renewed invasion” of Ukraine.
President Putin was “establishing the pretext for a full-scale offensive” and if the worst happens, Ukraine can expect to become “the target of a full scale war of aggression”, warned Mr Johnson.
