The Conservative Party has accepted tens of thousands of pounds from donors linked to Russia since the invasion of Ukraine, new filings have shown.

It includes £50,000 from Lubov Chernukhin, who is married to Vladimir Putin’s former deputy finance minister.

Reports say that her husband, Vladimir, had business dealings with oligarchs who are now under UK sanctions and earned up to £42m a year.
