The UK has sanctioned Georgia-linked supporters of Putin over the Ukraine conflict, targeting oil tankers and pressuring Russia's network.
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain sanctioned Georgia-linked supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine on Friday in what the government said was a move designed to pressure Russia's international network of backers.
Two oil tankers were also sanctioned for transporting Russian oil to the Georgian port of Batumi, the government said in a statement, adding that the ships would now be barred from entering British ports and refused access to the UK Ship Register.
