UK Sanctions Georgia-Linked Supporters of Putin
The UK has put sanctions on people and companies from Georgia who are helping Russian President Putin.
This means the UK is taking action to put pressure on Russia because of the war in Ukraine.
Two oil tankers have also been punished; they can no longer enter UK ports or be part of the UK's ship list.
The UK government hopes these actions will make it harder for Russia to get support and resources.
The UK sanctioned Georgia-linked supporters of Vladimir Putin.
The sanctions aim to pressure Russia's international network.
Two oil tankers were also sanctioned.
These tankers transported Russian oil to Batumi, Georgia.
Sanctioned ships are banned from UK ports.
