Sanctions: Johnson must publish Golden Visa review

Responding to the new wave of UK sanctions against Russia, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Layla Moran MP said:

"Putin and his armies are butchering innocent Ukrainians. These sanctions were urgently needed - but while Ukrainians are massacred, we cannot stop there. 

"It’s time to treat Putin’s armies and mercenaries as the terrorists they are, using UK proscription orders. We should be leading calls for the ICC to issue an international arrest warrant for Putin. 

"In the UK, too many of Putin’s cronies are still getting away with it. The Conservative Government has sat on the golden visas review for over four years. They slam the door in Ukrainian refugees’ faces, yet won’t tell us how many Kremlin-linked oligarchs they rolled out the red carpet for.

"The review must be published - and any oligarchs who have been flagged as a national security risk should be kicked out of the UK."
