Britain sanctions 386 Russian politicians for backing Putin’s ‘barbaric war’ on Ukraine

HUNDREDS of Russian politicians who back Putin’s murderous war on Ukraine have been banned from Britain and had their assets frozen.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss announced she has sanctioned 386 members of the Russian Parliament to continue punishing Kremlin stooges giving succour to the invasion.

They are all members of the Duma, the lower house, who voted in favour to recognise the independence of breakaway regions Luhansk and Donetsk – a Putin power grab.

The EU sanctioned the Russian politicians on February 15 and sparked criticism that Britain was not acting quick enough.

Today’s sanction swoop brings the total number sanctioned to 400, which includes dozens of oligarchs and Putin himself.

Ms Truss said: “We’re targeting those complicit in Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine and those who support this barbaric war.

“We will not let up the pressure and will continue to tighten the screw on the Russian economy through sanctions.

“Together with our allies, we stand firmly beside our Ukrainian friends. We will continue to support Ukraine with humanitarian aid, defensive weapons and diplomatic work to isolate Russia internationally.”

Yesterday Chelsea FC boss Roman Abramovich was sanctioned – banning him from selling the club and putting its future in doubt.

The billionaire was whacked with an asset freeze and travel ban  with the Government citing close ties to Putin.

That means the day to day running Chelsea is effectively paralysed with the club unable to even sell tickets or merchandise from its megastore.

So the, out of touch political elite are trying to say that the public would be happy to cough up an extra £2000 a year, per household to prop up the NHS?  Advertisers website Wrong! While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed? No. This just shows that we have monkeys running our country! Many people on Facebook have shared the above post on various pages; a large number of those people don't even do politics.

Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight.
