The United Kingdom Has Imposed Sweeping Sanctions On Russia

London imposed restrictions with the aim of weakening the aggressor.
On October 8, the British government, led by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, announced new, wide-ranging sanctions aimed at weakening Russia, the aggressor nation.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine citing a statement from the British government’s press service.
The new sanctions imposed by the British government target a number of individuals and entities that:
produce or transport Russian oil that finances the Russian economy;
facilitate the production or global trade of goods used to support Moscow’s ballistic missile capabilities and bolster its military-industrial base;
and bolster the Russian military budget by circumventing sanctions in the financial services sector.
The 38 new entries on the sanctions lists include Russian oil companies, “shadow fleet” tankers, as well as companies and individuals supplying goods critical to the Russian military.
For example, London has imposed restrictions on two Russian oil companies—“Zarubezhneft” and “INK Capital.” The main goal is not only to block the “flow” of Russian oil money but also to cut off the routes used to circumvent sanctions.
In addition, 12 more oil tankers operated as part of Russia’s “shadow fleet” have been targeted by the restrictions.
“Today we are also imposing sanctions on three cryptocurrency exchanges and two payment platforms, including three linked to Kyrgyzstan, as well as one individual associated with them. We suspect that these organizations are being used by Russia to circumvent financial sanctions, two of which processed and facilitated transactions for the Russian government,” the British authorities said in a statement.
It was also noted that the new sanctions package targets 17 entities and individuals involved in the supply of goods that the UK, the U.S., and the EU consider vital to Russia’s ongoing military efforts, also known as “high-priority goods” (HPG).
Specifically, this refers to Russian importers of machine tools, electronics, and materials that are critical to the production of Russian ballistic missiles and drones.
“The movement of these goods is global, with individuals and entities masking illicit trade with Russia through third countries,” the British authorities explained.
