LONDON (Reuters) -Britain published plans to ban imports of Russian diamonds, copper, aluminium and nickel on Friday and announced a new wave of sanctions against Russia, targeting companies connected to the alleged theft of Ukrainian grain.
But the ban will only have a muted impact as Russian exports of those commodities to the UK have already dropped after the imposition of tariffs.
