What else is important to know about Britain's new sanctions against Russia
On June 13, 2024, it became known that the United Kingdom introduced new sanctions restrictions against the aggressor country of the Russian Federation against the background of its war of aggression against Ukraine.
What is important to understand is that they concern 50 individuals and companies and are coordinated with the measures of other G7 countries.
First of all, we are talking about the ships of Putin's "shadow fleet", institutions that are the basis of the Russian financial system, and suppliers that support Russia's military-industrial complex.
The new sanctions... will affect Russia's ability to finance and supply its military machine and demonstrate the United Kingdom's continued support for Ukraine, the British government emphasized.
In addition, it is noted that these are the first official London sanctions against the Russian "shadow fleet", which allows Russia to bypass the restrictions of Western countries on oil trade.
