The UK has imposed sanctions against 86 Russian citizens and companies. According to RBC, nine organizations associated with Rosatom fell under restrictive measures.
Among them are the UMATEX company, which produces composite materials, as well as the Trinity enterprise, which develops laser systems.
Sanctions also included businessman, founder and chairman of the board of directors of the Russian Copper Company Igor Altushkin and eight other steel companies, including Severstal, Polyus and the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. The UK has also banned imports of Russian aluminium, nickel and copper.
Restrictive measures have also been introduced against 24 individuals and companies associated with transport services. The list includes Pawell Shipping Co and the State Grain Operator (a state-owned grain company established in the Russian-controlled part of the Zaporozhye region). The UK accuses them of “systematic theft of Ukrainian grain.” Sanctions have also been imposed against six Russian shipping companies, including Sun Ship Management, whose work the British authorities link to Sovcomflot. The FESCO transport group is now under restrictive measures.
Another 20 heads of defense enterprises were included in the sanctions list. Among them are Alan Lushnikov, the former deputy minister of transport, president and owner of the Kalashnikov concern, and Vladimir Lepin, general director of the enterprise. Restrictive measures have also been introduced against the Balakirev Mechanical Plant, which produces anti-personnel and anti-tank mines, and JSC Motovilikhinskiye Zavody (Rostec is a minority shareholder of the company), which produces artillery pieces.
British sanctions have also affected the financial sector. Restrictions were also introduced against JSC Dom.RF, AFK Sistema, Metallinvestbank, Rosbank and Tinkoff Bank.
Restrictions were also introduced against the head of JSC “Operating Organization of Zaporozhye NPP” Oleg Romanenko and the structure headed by him.
