UK Sanctions Kadyrov's Mother Over Ukrainian Child Deportations

The UK has imposed new sanctions on Kadyrov's mother and Russian officials. "The new sanctions are aimed at those who support Putin's attempts to forcibly deport Ukrainian children and erase their Ukrainian cultural heritage.

The UK Foreign Office estimates that since the 2022 invasion, approximately 20,000 children have been forcibly transferred to Russia, with about 6,000 of them sent to 're-education camps.'

Sanctions have been imposed, among others, on the Akhmat Kadyrov Foundation, as well as the head of the foundation and the mother of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, Aymani Kadyrova,' the UK government noted." The list includes eight individuals and three organizations associated with the Russian state.
