On 30 June the UK announced a further £1 billion of military support which includes weapons, equipment and training to Ukraine, bringing the total since the outbreak of war to £2.3 billion. We do not speculate on future designations, or on cross-government discussions on potential targets. We have now sanctioned over 1000 individuals, and over 100 businesses since Putin's invasion of Ukraine. This includes oligarchs worth £117 billion. We have also implemented freezes on 18 of Russia's major banks with global assets worth £940 billion, and in conjunction with our partners we have frozen over 60% of Russian Central Bank reserves, worth £275 billion. We will continue to put more pressure on Putin's regime, including through further sanctions designations along with the humanitarian, economic and military support we are providing to Ukraine.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 04/07/2022 17:28:52 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
