Britain on Friday imposed sanctions targeting figures working in the Russian government, including Pavel Fradkov, a deputy minister for defence, and Vladimir Selin, who leads an arm of the country's ministry of defence.

Those targeted by the sactions have links to the "inner circle" of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the foreign office said.
"I am announcing further sanctions to keep up the pressure on Putin," said foreign minister David Lammy. "Ukrainians are fighting for their country’s future and the principle of sovereignty across Europe at the frontline."
