UK unveils new Russia sanctions as PM aims at gold reserves
The Wagner Group, a private military firm thought to function as an arms-length unit of the Russian military, was among the 65 entities hit by new sanctions announced by the UK government on Thursday.
The reported step-daughter of Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov, Polina Kovaleva, who is thought to own a London property worth an estimated £4million, was also targeted by the measures.In his speech to Nato leaders, Mr Zelensky called on them to give or sell Ukraine more tanks and anti-aircraft defence systems.
"I simply want you to know the alliance still can prevent Ukrainian deaths… by providing us all the munitions we are asking for." The UK has already sent 4,000 anti-tank weapons, but will now send another 3,000, plus a similar number of what Downing Street described as "high explosive missiles".
