The various sanctions regimes are apt to change. For example, on 17 July, the Foreign Secretary announced - New sanctions in response to Russia’s forced deportation of Ukrainian children - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
Sanctions can be removed. One example is Oleg Tinkov.
High Court:
A legal challenge to sanctions imposed by the UK on Eugene Shvidler has been heard by the High Court (Mr Justice Garnham) and judgment is due in the near future.
