London is also imposing sanctions on 86 other individuals and companies in the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. The restrictions will affect people associated with major sources of income in areas such as energy, metals and shipping, according to the report.
A spokesman for the prime minister said the government expects all G7 partners to announce the sanctions over the weekend.
