UK Imposes Sanctions on Russian Troops for Chemical Weapons Use in Ukraine

Britain targets Russia's Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defence Troops for violating international law with chemical attacks.

The UK government has sanctioned Russian troops and their leader Igor Kirillov for the use of chemical weapons in Ukraine.
These sanctions include asset freezes and travel bans against individuals and agencies responsible for the chemical attacks.
Russia's chemical attacks are considered a violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the use of such weapons.
UK officials accuse Russian forces of using toxic agents like chloropicrin, a substance first used in World War I.
These measures follow recent sanctions against a Russian cyber-crime group and are part of ongoing support for Ukraine.
