UK sanctions 7 Russians over deportation, indoctrination of Ukrainian children

Britain has sanctioned seven individuals associated with Russia's forced deportation and re-education of Ukrainian children, including Movement of the First board chairman Artur Orlov and Olena Milska, head of the Russian National Center for Assistance to Missing and Affected Children. The sanctions also target five regional branch heads of the movement in occupied territories and Crimea, as well as an additional eight people for arbitrary detention, torture, and cruel treatment of civilians in those regions.

These sanctions include an asset freeze, a ban on entering Britain, restrictions on trust services, and a ban on serving as a company director. The move aims to prevent those involved in the deportation and militarization of Ukrainian children from hiding their money or evading authorities by exploiting different jurisdictions.
