Foreign Secretary Liz Truss cut Russia off from accessing U.K. management consultants, accountants and public relations firms as she announced a further tranche of sanctions aimed at putting more international pressure on Vladimir Putin in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The new measures will mean Russia’s businesses can no longer benefit from the expertise of British firms, which currently provide about 10% of Russian imports in those sectors, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said in a statement Wednesday.
