OREANDA-NEWS The United Kingdom has added Nikolai Buinov, executive director of the Irkutsk Oil Company, to the sanctions list, according to a document published on Monday on the British government's website.

"Nikolai Mikhailovich Buinov," the updated sanctions list says.
The Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that the country will cope with the sanctions pressure that the West began to exert on Russia several years ago and continues to strengthen. Moscow noted that the West lacks the courage to admit the failure of sanctions against Russia. Western countries themselves have repeatedly expressed the opinion that anti-Russian sanctions are ineffective.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously stated that the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy of the West, and sanctions have dealt a serious blow to the entire global economy. According to him, the main goal of Western countries is to worsen the lives of millions of people.
