As part of one of its active foreign policy steps, the United Kingdom is preparing to introduce new economic sanctions against Russia. Newly appointed Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to make a statement on this matter in the near future. This was reported by Sky News, citing a statement from Starmer's office.
According to official information, in his speech, Starmer will not only announce a new UK sanctions package but will also call on international allies to increase pressure on Russia. He is expected to emphasize: “Now is the time to use this opportunity and increase economic pressure on Russia.”
Sky News sources note that London's position is firm: the sanctions will not be eased, but rather intensified — until Moscow agrees to a “complete and unconditional” ceasefire.
The specifics of the new measures have not yet been disclosed, but the British government expects its allies to follow suit and emphasizes that coordinated actions will play an important role in the future.
According to experts, this move will further strengthen the coordinated strategic pressure by Europe and the West on Russia. How these sanctions will impact Russia’s economic and geopolitical activity will become clear in the coming weeks. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
