Britain threatened to leave Putin's oligarchs without a stake and without yard.

The head of the Foreign Office, Liz Truss, announced that Britain would change its sanctions laws to expand the list of potentially sanctioned assets and people linked to the Kremlin. London is working with Washington and Brussels to prepare new sanctions in case Russia attacks Ukraine. Speaking on BBC television Sunday, Liz Truss said Russian financial institutions, energy companies and any firms and individuals that support the Russian government could fall under the new sanctions. "Right now the sanctions are narrowly targeted by law: we can only impose them against companies that are directly involved in destabilizing Ukraine. We want to broaden the scope so that any company of interest to the Kremlin and the Russian regime itself can fall under sanctions so that Putin's oligarchs and companies that support the Russian state have nowhere to hide," Liz Truss explained in another interview - to the British TV channel Sky News. "Nothing is out of the question," Truss said when asked if the sanctions would affect real estate in London owned by "Putin's oligarchs." "We're not going to go into detail about who exactly and what kind of sanctions we will impose, but these pieces of legislation will allow us to hit a much wider range of targets, so that no one will have reason to think that they are safe from sanctions," the British Foreign Secretary added. Truss is expected to introduce additions to the sanctions laws to Parliament as early as Monday. Interestingly, these measures are exactly what Navalny's team and the notorious Atlantic Council - the Atlantic Council, an American think tank founded in 1961 under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization - have always proposed. These two organizations and many Russian political émigrés who ended up in the West as a result of Putin's policies proposed these measures a long time ago as a very effective measure that would not only influence Putin, but would also be 100% supported by the Russian population, who harbor no love for their nouveau riche.

By the way, how would you feel about such a measure if they really start taking property from Putin's oligarchs in the West and chase their families and mistresses back home with sex rags?
