U.K. To Keep Russian Assets Frozen Until Ukraine Is Compensated

The British government announced plans to tighten its sanctions policy against Russia on June 19, including introducing legislation to keep assets frozen until Moscow has agreed to pay compensation to Ukraine. The new measures will require any individual who has been designated under the sanctions to disclose assets held in Britain. The government also said there would be a new route for frozen assets to be donated to the reconstruction of Ukraine. This would not result in individual sanctions being lifted.
