The UK government has sanctioned British blogger Graham Phillips over his content that “destabilizes” Ukraine, according to the British Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office. He was added to the UK sanctions list on Monday, according to the Foreign Office. In a video posted on YouTube on April 19, Phillips questions captured British national Aiden Aslin, who had been fighting with Ukrainian forces in Mariupol. At the time of writing, parent company Google had not provided a statement to CNN on the removal of the video. In the video, Phillips refers to Aslin as a "mercenary" rather than a prisoner of war.
