UK imposes sanctions on two Russian companies and five Russian courts
The UK has once again expanded its sanctions list against Russia.
Two more companies and five gas carriers have been added to it.
An updated version of the anti-Russian list was published on the website of the UK Treasury .
This time, the management companies Ocean Speedstar Solutions OPC PVT LTD and White Fox Ship Management FZCO fell under sanctions.
Among the vessels subject to the UK restrictions are:
- Asya Energy, Pioneer, North Sky, SCF La Perouse and Nova Energy.
The sanctions are explained by the fact that the above-mentioned companies are involved in supporting the Russian government.
The companies are suspected of operating in the energy sector, which is strategically important for Russia.
As noted on the British government website, these organizations play a key role in supporting Russian energy projects.
This, according to the Ministry of Finance, makes them subject to sanctions.
Britain is tightening measures against Russia, limiting Moscow's opportunities in the key energy sector.
