The Prime Minister unveiled 10 new crippling measures against hundreds of Russian individuals and companies.
Officials say the comprehensive sanctions are the largest ever imposed by the UK against a country.
Among those targeted is Kirill Shamalov, who was married to the President’s daughter, Katerina, from 2013 to 2018.
Mr Johnson condemned President Putin as a “blood-stained aggressor who believes in imperial conquest” as he laid out the measures in the Commons.
He was “always determined to attack his neighbour, no matter what we did,” the Prime Minister added.
The Prime Minister told the Commons: “Overall we’ll be imposing asset freezes on more than 100 new entities and individuals, on top of the hundreds we’ve already announced.
“This includes all the major manufacturers that support Putin’s war machine.
“Furthermore, we’re also banning Aeroflot from the UK.”
Aeroflot is the largest airline of the Russian Federation, banning it from the UK will severely impact travel routes between London and Moscow.
