I think the US and EU may need to consider placing sanctions directly on those British government officials working to protect Russian oligarchs from UK sanctions.


Somebody help me here.

If various countries have been seizing Russian oligarchs' multi-million-pound yachts seemingly willy-nilly, then presumably arguing the legal tosses later, how the hell are there "legal problems" that have to be carefully negotiated before the UK government can seize oligarchs' London Moscow Road etc. mansions and other assets?
