The British government has imposed 46 new sanctions targeting individuals and entities linked to the Wagner Group, a controversial private military company with ties to Russia, as well as a military officer involved in the 2018 Novichok attack in Salisbury. These sanctions also extend to individuals in the Central African Republic, Libya, and Mali, further restricting the group's influence in Africa. The UK government cited concerns over the Wagner Group's activities and its alleged role in various human rights abuses across conflict zones. Specifically, the new sanctions include freezing assets and banning travel for those affected. Additionally, a fresh designation was added under the UK’s chemical weapons sanctions regime, focusing on Denis Sergeev, accused of coordinating the Novichok attack. Moscow has denied involvement in these allegations and did not comment on the latest sanctions.
