Britain seizes a plane belonging to Russian oligarchs.

The UK has blocked the use of another private jet with links to Russian oligarchs, the Transport Secretary said.

Grant Shapps did not provide further details about the plane or who owns it, but said the move was taken Saturday morning.

He added that the United Kingdom “will not stand by and watch those who have made millions through Putin’s patronage live their lives in peace while shedding innocent blood.”

It comes after the closure of a private jet with possible links to Russia on March 19.

Otherwise, the British have confiscated dozens of properties of Russian oligarchs after the imposition of sanctions.
