British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the introduction of restrictive measures against the Russian air carrier Aeroflot, and also freezes the assets of VTB.

In addition, London will introduce limits on the amounts that Russian citizens can hold on accounts in the UK. The export of high-tech products to the Russian Federation is also closed. The country will refuse Russian oil and gas. Boris Johnson promised that Britain would "squeeze out" Russia from the world economy.

Sanctions are imposed due to the start of Russia's military special operation in Ukraine.

Note that on the news about London's restrictive measures, Aeroflot shares intensified their fall and lose 31%, VTB shares intensified their fall and lose more than 42%.

Earlier it was reported that the United Kingdom threatened Russia with "unprecedented sanctions" in the event of a military aggression against Kiev. In addition, the United Kingdom intends to provide military assistance to Ukraine.

Early on the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a video address to the nation, announced the start of a military special operation in the Donbass, after which reports began to come in of explosions in major cities of Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has declared martial law in the country.
