The U.K. has imposed sanctions on a number of Russian military leaders, including the so-called "butcher of Bucha," a commander blamed for civilian deaths in the Kyiv suburb.

The measures target JSC Kalashnikov Concern, a developer and manufacturer of Russian army equipment, Arzamas Machine-Building Plant that builds amphibious armored personnel carriers used in the invasion of Ukraine, and Military Industrial Company, a major supplier of arms and military equipment to the Russian forces.
