BANGKOK: The UK has placed four Thai-registered companies on its expanded sanctions list for allegedly providing support to Russia in its war against Ukraine, prompting a warning from the Thai government to local businesses about the risk to the country’s international image.
Thailand's Department of Foreign Trade (DFT), operating under the Ministry of Commerce, confirmed the move after the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) announced the designation of 39 third-country individuals and entities. These parties were found to be assisting Moscow under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
