Gegenstand der neuen Sanktionen aus Großbritannien sind natürliche und juristische Personen in verschiedenen Ländern, über welche Russland Militärtechnik erhalten soll. Gelistet sind zwei türkische Firmen und ein Unternehmen aus Dubai. Hinzu kommen drei russische Firmen sowie eine Person jeweils aus der Slowakai und der Schweiz. Maßnahmen sind auch gegen mehrere Personen und Organisationen aus dem Iran vorgesehen.
"Today’s measures will damage Russia’s defence systems by cutting off Putin’s access to foreign military equipment. Among those sanctioned are:
2 Turkey based businesses, Turkik Union and Azu International, for their role in exporting microelectronics to Russia that are essential for Russia’s military activity in Ukraine
Dubai-based Aeromotus Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Trading LLC, for its role in supplying drones and drone components to Russia
Slovakian national Ashot Mkrtychev, for his involvement in an attempted arms deal between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Russia
Swiss national Anselm Oskar Schmucki, for his role in Russia’s financial services sector, including through working as Chief of the Moscow office of DuLac Capital Ltd
We are also taking further action to tackle Iran and Belarus’ support for Russia’s military. The UK has previously imposed sanctions on Belarus for continuing to actively facilitate Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and has called out Iran’s destabilising role in global security, including through sanctions against Iranian suppliers of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) used by Russia to target Ukrainian civilians. Today’s sanctions include:
Iranian individuals and entities involved in the research, development and production of UAVs for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
Belarusian defence organisations linked to the manufacturing of military technology for the Belarusian regime, which has directly facilitated Putin’s illegal war."
