The Anti-Corruption Foundation, at the request of the UK, has prepared a shortened list of major warmongers who should be sanctioned on a priority basis. The list includes members of our List of 6000 who have not yet been included in the United Kingdom's blacklist. These are the military officers, federal ministers, State Duma deputies, security officials, propagandists and oligarchs who are the backbone of the corrupt Putin regime.
We were asked to compile the list of the Top 200 warmongers by the Department of Sanctions at the British Foreign Office. The leadership of this department assured us that they were familiar with and consulted the full list of over 6,000 of Putin's accomplices that had been compiled by the ACF. However, both in the UK and in other countries we have been repeatedly asked which of them should be blacklisted in the first place. We will also prepare lists of Putin's main accomplices for other countries and jurisdictions.
According to our top pick, the first people to be put under the Kingdom's sanctions should be Finance Minister and member of the Russian Security Council Anton Siluanov, Putin's assistant Vladimir Medinsky, Chairwoman of the Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina, oligarch Iskandar Makhmudov, propagandists Ekaterina Andreeva and Tina Kandelaki, and another 194 people who are directly responsible for the aggressive war unleashed in Ukraine.
It is with these people that a new wave of sanctions must begin, not only in the UK but also in other countries. Their fate is already clear - in any case, they will be held responsible for the killing of Ukrainians, the senseless deaths of Russian soldiers and the international isolation of Russia. But the rest of the names on our big list still have a chance to avoid sanctions.
We continue to update our list, removing those who publicly condemn the war and refuse to support Putin's criminal regime. This is a crucial step to stop the aggression.
