‘The most effective way to put pressure on Putin is to target his supporters’ – Voice of the Mirror – World News

Among those we have not yet taken action against include Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko and Igor Osipov, Commander-in-Chief of the Black Sea Fleet

The government ultimately acted against the political elite of Russia today by imposing sanctions on members of the Duma.

The EU imposed similar measures a month ago, so the move is long overdue.

The most effective way to put pressure on Vladimir Putin is to target his supporters and promote him in Moscow.

That is why the British government must go further and expand the sanctions to include members of the Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian Parliament and the heads of the security department, who advise. for the President of Russia.

There are still big gaps in the UK’s listings.

Among those we have not yet taken action against include Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko and Igor Osipov, Commander-in-Chief of the Black Sea Fleet.

The lawsuit could not be more intense when Putin is said to be preparing to use chemical and biological weapons. He is committing crimes against humanity. There can be no delay in imposing sanctions on all who are complicit in these war crimes.

Got a virus

Boris Johnson may believe that the Covid threat is over, but the figures tell a different story.

More than two million people in the UK have been infected with the virus in the last week, with the number of people requiring hospital treatment increasing by 17%.

There is also evidence that the new Deltacrom variant is starting to gain ground in the UK.

As the virus is still very virulent, the Government should halt its plan to eliminate free testing and remove financial support for those who need to self-isolate.

We should not let our guard down when our lives are still at risk.
