Britain has added 386 Russian lawmakers to its sanctions list against Moscow since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24.
Politicians who supported Russian President Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine face travel bans and asset freezes under the measures, UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement on Friday.
The lawmakers are members of Russia's Duma, the lower house of the Russian parliament, which recognized the independence of Ukraine's eastern regions of Luhansk and Donetsk regions and authorized the permanent presence of the Russian military there, "acting as a pretext for Russia's invasion." .
Britain has now sanctioned 800 of Russia's "most important and high-value individuals, entities and affiliates," including banks, Putin's inner circle and oligarchs, she said, CNN reports.
