Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha expressed approval for the United Kingdom's latest sanctions imposed against Russia, acknowledging Foreign Secretary David Lammy and the British government's efforts to apply ongoing pressure on Moscow. According to UATV English, Sybiha stated that Russia's income is being transformed into weaponry while negligence towards Russian offenses results in further atrocities.
He emphasized the necessity of targeting both the resources fueling Russia's warfare and the impunity that enables these actions. The new UK sanctions aim to disrupt Russia's shadow fleet involved in the transportation of liquefied natural gas, a source that Sybiha identified as aiding Moscow's financial backing of its military operations.
Additionally, the sanctions target individuals responsible for the torture of Ukrainian civilians and the forced relocation and indoctrination of Ukrainian children. Sybiha advocated for the expansion of this approach throughout Europe, arguing that Russia is increasingly using its earnings to build military capabilities. "The less Russia can finance, the less it can destroy. This should be the foundation of our joint actions," Sybiha concluded.
