Britain said on Tuesday it had added 42 new designations under its Russian sanctions regime in response to Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
The sanctions, which included travel bans and asset freezes, were imposed on several governors of Russian regions.
Britain has been part of an international effort to punish Russia with asset freezes, travel bans and economic sanctions, since President Vladimir Putin moved troops into Ukraine on February 24.
