UPDATE 1-UK's latest Russian sanctions target officials, media and youth programmes

Britain imposed ‌sanctions on dozens ​of Russian officials, media operatives and organisations on Monday, ‌targeting what it said were Kremlin-run youth programmes, propaganda networks and entities involved in the deportation and ‌indoctrination of Ukrainian children.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine ‌in 2022, Britain has sanctioned more than 3,200 individuals, businesses and ships under its Russia sanctions regime, in ⁠an ​effort to ⁠disrupt Russia's actions and help Ukraine. Many of those sanctions ⁠have been against ships and businesses involved in oil ​trading, aiming to cut off the energy revenues ⁠earned by Moscow, but more recently it has ⁠targeted those ​impacting people.

Last week it added sanctions against 35 people and entities it said were ⁠involved in recruiting vulnerable migrants to fight for Russia ⁠against ⁠Ukraine and produce drones for use in the conflict.
