UK unveils further sanctions on Russia

Britain has announced a ban on Kremlin-linked individuals and businesses from accessing British legal expertise.

As of today, British lawyers will be prevented from advising Russian companies on certain business deals.

It is the latest move aimed at cutting off Moscow economically.

British officials said the sanction could impact Russia's ability to obtain legal advice on everything from trade deals between global corporations to international money lending.

The Ministry of Justice, which announced the move, said Russia is highly dependent on Western countries for legal expertise.
