The Prime Minister has announced the largest and most severe package of economic sanctions Russia has ever seen. Acting in concert with our allies, our measures will deliver a devastating blow to Russia's economy and military for years to come. We will also introduce a further Economic Crime Bill to enact the full set of reforms to Companies House, as well as new measures on anti-money laundering; seizing cryptocurrencies; and tackling the abuse of corporate structures used to facilitate crime.
