A list of people mainly from Russia and Saudi Arabia have been put on a sanction list by the UK.  This means they cannot come to the UK and they cannot buy houses in the UK or deal with banks in the UK.  This could be an issue for private schools as many rich people send their children to the UK for boarding school.  UK made the list because they say Russians were involved in killings and false information and the Saudis were involved in the murder of a journalist.
