We are shutting the Tier 1 Investor route to clamp down on illicit finance.
This kind of malign activity, including what we are seeing from Russia right now, has no place in the UK👇
636
Reports of alleged abnormal military activity by Ukraine in Donbas are a blatant attempt by the Russian government to fabricate pretexts for invasion.
This is straight out of the Kremlin playbook.
🇬🇧 will continue to call out Russia’s disinformation campaign.
637
Very concerned about reports today of increased Russian aggression: over 7,000 extra troops near the Ukraine border and an attack by pro-Russian troops on a kindergarten in Ukraine. 🇬🇧 calls on Russia to withdraw its troops - there is still time for diplomacy and de-escalation.
