answer text <p>We do not speculate on future sanctions. In conjunction with our partners, we have already blocked access to £275 billion of the Russian Central Bank's foreign currency reserves. We are considering all options on assets that have been seized and whether they can contribute towards to the reconstruction of Ukraine. Where assets are subject to an asset freeze, their release may be permitted through a licence from the Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI). OFSI can only issue licences where there are specific and relevant licensing grounds enabling them to do so, and where the conditions in those grounds have been met in the relevant sanctions regulations. OFSI also has powers to issue general licences under such conditions as HM Treasury deems appropriate.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK Government publishes the UK Sanctions List, which provides details of those designated under regulations made under the Sanctions Act. The list also details which sanctions measures apply to these persons and in the case of UK designations, provides a statement of reasons for the designation. HM Treasury's Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation provides a consolidated list of persons and organisations under financial sanctions, including those under the Sanctions Act and other UK legislation. Both lists include additional identifying details, where this information is available, to assist with the identification of a Designated Person. This includes date of birth, nationalities, addresses, and any name variations or aliases.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK does not speculate on future sanctions. However, we will continue to increase pressure on Putin and his regime to ensure he is unable to fuel his war machine. In response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine we have announced an unprecedented package of sanctions. We have now sanctioned over 1500 individuals and entities since the invasion. We have also implemented sanctions against Belarusian individuals and organisations in response to the role the country is playing in Russia's invasion, including facilitating the invasion from within its borders.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We have implemented the largest and most severe package of economic sanctions that Russia has ever seen. Sanctions imposed by the UK and its international partners are having deep and damaging consequences for Putin's ability to wage war, with £275 billion - 60% of Russian foreign currency reserves - currently frozen. It is estimated that Russia's GDP will fall by between 8.5 and 15 per cent.</p> more like this
