UK Sanctions Dugin, Rybar and Leader, and Two Chinese Cyber Firms in New List Update

Britain says the move responds to efforts to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty alongside hostile cyber activity affecting government systems.

Overview

  • The UK added seven entries to its Russia-related sanctions list, naming Alexander Dugin and the Center for Geopolitical Expertise.
  • Military-analytical outlet Rybar and its head, Mikhail Zvinchuk, were designated for roles the UK links to destabilising Ukraine.
  • Other additions include the Fund for the Protection and Support of Compatriots Living Abroad and Brussels-based outlets Golos and Euromore.
  • Sanctions include a UK entry ban and asset freezes where assets are identified, with listings published on the UK government website.
  • Two Chinese companies were sanctioned: Integrity Technology Group for allegedly running a hidden botnet interfering with UK public-sector IT, and Sichuan Anxun for malicious activity that allegedly accessed over 80 foreign government and commercial networks.
