Among those sanctioned are Alexander Abramov and Alexander Frolov, whom Britain describes as an associate of oligarch Roman Abramovich, who was also sanctioned earlier this year.
Both were sanctioned for their alleged involvement in the mining, transport and construction sectors, according to the British Foreign Office. “Today we sanction four more oligarchs who rely on (Russian President Vladimir) Putin for their positions of authority and in turn fund their military machinery,” Secretary of State James Cleverly said.
“By targeting these people, we are increasing economic pressure on Putin and we will continue to do so until Ukraine wins.”
In March, Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the British government for his close ties to the Russian government. Abramovich is the owner of the Chelsea club. His assets are frozen and travel is prohibited. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said there was no safe haven for those who supported the war Russia Ukraine.
