LONDON, March 31 — Britain’s latest round of sanctions against Russia was designed to tackle those pushing state propaganda, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said today.

“Putin’s war on Ukraine is based on a torrent of lies,” Truss said in a statement.

“Britain has helped lead the world in exposing Kremlin disinformation, and this latest batch of sanctions hits the shameless propagandists who push out Putin’s fake news and narratives.” — Reuters
