UK sanctions hit two residents accused of sending tech to Russia

Britain announced new sanctions on people and groups it said were linked to Russian finance, energy and military operations on Tuesday, including two UK residents it accused of sending high-end electronics to Moscow for the war in Ukraine.

The two – a Ukrainian and a Polish national living in Britain – had operated “a shadowy network of shell companies” to funnel more than $120 million of technology to Russia, Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office said.
