Rahman Ravelli were invited to talk to 5 News about the effect so far of the UK’s approach to sanctions against Russia.
Rahman Ravelli who are sanctions experts, told the Channel 5 news programme that Britain could have moved faster in imposing sanctions on those with connections to the Russian regime, in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine.
Rahman Ravelli explained that as there has been “a bit of a lag’’ between the invasion starting and the UK introducing a sanctions bill – which is yet to be passed – the likely targets of the legislation have had time to react.
