The Foreign Office announced 17 designations under its global irregular migration sanctions regime, relating to what it said were trafficking networks facilitating the travel of people to be sent "to the front line as cannon fodder."Britain also added 18 designations under its Russia sanctions regime, several of which related to a program that it said used "deceptive practices" to recruit people, largely from Cameroon, to produce drones.Sanctions minister Stephen Doughty said in a statement: "The practice of exploiting vulnerable people to prop up Russia's failing and illegal war in Ukraine is barbaric."He added that the sanctions would "disrupt the operations of those trafficking migrants as cannon fodder and feeding (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's drone factories with illicit components."
