Harborough’s MP Sanctioned By Russia

Harborough’s MP has been sanctioned by Russia in response to him speaking out against the war in Ukraine.

It means Neil O’Brien is now banned from travelling and holding assets in the country – in addition to the sanctions imposed on him by China last year for criticising alleged human rights violations there.

Our MP is standing by the comments he made on the Russian attack on Ukraine, calling it “barbaric, inhumane and chilling”.

Mr O’Brien says we owe it to the Ukrainian people to speak out against the Russian state and condemn Vladimir Putin for the acts of evil he is inflicting upon innocent people:
