Pictured, Ukrainian refugees in Bucharest, Romania. Mr Gove's plan echoes moves by the US Congress to seize assets from oligarchs whose wealth is linked to Vladimir Putin. Supporters of Mr Gove's plan also point the finger at No 10's new head of policy, Andrew Griffith, for trying to block it. Downing Street declined to comment and a spokesman for Mr Gove said: 'We don't comment on private Cabinet discussions.'
