Despite introducing a law four years ago to enforce sanctions, the UK has yet to secure any convictions for breaching restrictions on Russia, including bans on exporting weapons technology and facilitating illicit Russian oil trade, which are crucial in hindering President Vladimir Putin's government. The lack of convictions raises concerns about the effectiveness of these sanctions in limiting Russia's actions. Key components of these sanctions include trade restrictions and technological export bans, which are essential for UK sanctions enforcement and global security.
