Britain has imposed sanctions on Russian soldiers it considers involved in the use of chemical weapons on the battlefield in Ukraine, reported Reuters.
The blacklist includes Russian troops for radiological, chemical and biological protection, as well as their leader Igor Kirilov, the government said in a statement.
The Reuters agency notes that the Russian embassy in Great Britain has not yet responded to its request for comment.
Last week, London imposed restrictive measures against 16 members of the Russian cybercrime group "Evil Corp" (Evil Corp), which, according to the British authorities, carried out operations against NATO allies.
