The United Kingdom will unveil new sanctions against Russia on Monday as it marks three years since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy stated on Sunday. The announcement of the new sanctions comes amid the US has taken charge of ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.
David Lammy stated that he would announce the sanctions on Monday, describing them as the most extensive package of measures since the early stages of the conflict, timed to coincide with the anniversary.
The Foreign Secretary emphasized that the sanctions are designed to target Russia’s revenues and disrupt Vladimir Putin’s “military machine.”
"Tomorrow, I intend to unveil the largest package of sanctions against Russia since the early days of the war—weakening their military machine and cutting off revenues that fuel the destruction in Ukraine," Lammy said in a statement.
Since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the UK has already sanctioned 1,900 individuals and organizations linked to Putin's government.
"This is a critical moment in the history of Ukraine, Britain and all of Europe... Now is the time for Europe to double down on our support for Ukraine," Lammy said.
"Off the battlefield, we will work with the US and European partners to achieve a sustainable, just peace, and in doing so, remaining clear that there can be nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine," he added.
In addition to announcing sanctions against Russia, Lammy's statement included a commitment to provide £3 billion ($3.78 billion, €3.61 billion) annually to Kyiv and a willingness to deploy UK troops as part of peacekeeping forces if necessary.
