Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of sanctioning (a) Leonard Blavatnik and (b) other Russian people under sanction in Ukraine but not in the UK.

The UK remains steadfast in our support to Ukraine. Together with our international partners, we have implemented the most severe package of sanctions ever imposed on a major economy. The UK alone has sanctioned more than 2,000 individuals and entities under the Russia sanctions regime. Just this week, we launched our largest ever ship specification package targeting Putin's Shadow Fleet.

We do not comment on future or individual designations. Furthermore, we do not comment on our partner's decisions on individual designations.
