ABSTRACT

Before the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the UK announced the permanent abolition of the T1 Immigrant Investor Visa to prevent Russian citizens from "transferring their illegal wealth" to achieve the goal of sanctioning Russia. The UK's move was purely to balance the powers of the European continent and to gain the support of the US to maintain its position as a major power in the face of Northern Ireland and Scotland running towards independence; at the same time, it was the British government's usual operationof deflecting conflicts when the economy is in the doldrums and its rule is at a disadvantage. In short, it was a diplomatic means of defending British national interests.
