UK plans to unveil new legislation to broaden scope of Russia sanctions

The new law will target"any company of interest" to Russia, such that no one will be"immune", the UK's Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said.Britain has been set to announce new sanctions legislation next week to hit "a much wider variety" of Russian economic targets as part of efforts to deter Moscow from invading Ukraine.

"What I'll be announcing later this week is improved legislation on sanctions so we can target more Russian interests that are of direct relevance to the Kremlin," Truss told Sky News."What the legislation enables us to do is hit a much wider variety of targets, so there can be nobody who thinks that they will be immune to those sanctions."'A much tougher line'
