The UK authorities have expanded sanctions against enterprises of the defense industry complex (DIC) of Belarus and a number of officials, the Foreign Office of the United Kingdom reported.
The UK is imposing sanctions against four individuals and three legal entities from Belarus.
The sanctions were extended to the Research Institute of Electronic Computing Machines (NIIEVM), StankoGomel and Rukhservomotor.
