OREANDA-NEWS The United Kingdom has included the Alfastrakhovanie company and the VSK insurance house in the sanctions list, according to a document published on the website of the British Foreign Ministry.

The motivational part of the document states that companies participate or participated in obtaining benefits from the Russian government or in providing support to it by doing business in a sector of strategic importance (the financial services sector).

Restrictions imply, in addition to the freezing of assets, a ban on the provision of trust services.

The Russian Federation has also repeatedly stated that the country will cope with the sanctions pressure that the West began to exert on Russia several years ago and continues to strengthen. Moscow noted that the West does not have the courage to admit the failure of sanctions against the Russian Federation. There have been opinions in Western countries themselves that anti-Russian sanctions are ineffective.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously stated that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. According to him, the main goal of the West is to worsen the lives of millions of people.
