UK bans Russia from using British services and takes aim at Kremlin troll factory, in swathe of new
sanctions
The UK has banned Russia from using British management consulting, accounting, and public-relations services in a new round of sanctions and taken aim at people who have helped Kremlin spread disinformation about its invasion of Ukraine.
Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, said on Wednesday the ban would "cut off Russia's access" to the UK's services industry, which is "critical to the Russian economy."
Russia is heavily reliant on Western services companies for the production and export of manufactured goods.
Truss said: "Doing business with Putin's regime is morally bankrupt and helps fund a war machine that is causing untold suffering across Ukraine. Cutting Russia's access to British services will put more pressure on the Kremlin and ultimately help ensure Putin fails in Ukraine."
