The United Kingdom is set to announce new sanctions against Russia on Monday, marking three years since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Sunday.
"This is also the time to turn the screws on [Vladimir] Putin's Russia," Lammy said in a statement.
"Tomorrow, I plan to announce the largest package of sanctions against Russia since the early days of the war — eroding their military machine and reducing revenues fuelling the fires of destruction in Ukraine," he added.
The UK has already imposed sanctions on 1,900 people and organisations with connections to Putin's government since Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022.
UK sanctions come as Trump shifts US position.
The announcement of the new sanctions comes at a time when the US has taken charge of ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.
In addition to sanctions against Russia, Lammy's statement also included a pledge to provide £3 billion ($3.78 billion, €3.61 billion) annually to Kyiv and "being ready and willing to provide UK troops as part of peacekeeping forces if necessary.". »
