The end of 'Londongrad?' UK threatens to hit Russian oligarchs with sanctions
CNN
The UK government has threatened to take action against Kremlin-linked oligarchs who have turned London into their playground if President Vladimir Putin orders an invasion of Ukraine.
But decades of loose regulation and courting of Russian investors mean that some Putin allies are now so deeply integrated into UK society that it would be difficult to root them out of the city that's come to be known as "Londongrad."
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said Monday that new sanctions legislation would allow the UK government to target a broader range of individuals and businesses with links to the Kremlin.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Monday that the Pentagon is taking administrative action to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, by cutting his retirement pay for participating in a video where he and other Democratic lawmakers reminded US service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders.
