Ukraine: Ministers can now detain Russian planes in UK
The UK has announced a raft of new sanctions affecting Russian aircraft and exports of space and aviation technology.
The measures will give the government powers to detain Russian aircraft in the UK and make it a criminal offence to fly or land them in the country.
Ministers said the sanctions would target figures close to the Kremlin.
One plane at Farnborough Airport in Hampshire is already understood to be under investigation.
In addition, new trade sanctions will prevent all UK exports of aviation or space-related technology to Russia, including related services such as insurance.
Announcing the new measures, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said The Changes would inflict further " economic pain on Russia and those close to the Kremlin".
She added the government would continue to support Ukraine and " work to isolate Russia on The International stage".
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the UK was " one of The First countries to ban Russian aircraft and today We Are going even further by Making It a criminal offence for Russian aircraft to operate in UK airspace".
" We will always work to deny [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and his cronies The Right to continue as normal while innocent Ukrainians suffer. "
BBC Newsnight political editor Nick Watt explained The Move was not intended to target Russian-owned craft, which are already banned from flying to the UK.
Instead, He Said they would address the " grey area" of private jets which are registered in a third country being chartered by wealthy Russians.
He Said the plane at Farnborough Airport, which is a private airport, is being examined by authorities because it is believed to be used by a Russian oligarch.
Sources told Newsnight that identifying a plane as Russian is not just a matter of following it on a radar, but about " detective work" to establish its true origins.
The new sanctions come shortly after the UK government confirmed it would introduce a ban on all Russian oil by The End of the Year ,
