The UK has imposed 100 new sanctions on Russia, striking at its military, energy, and financial sectors in response to ongoing attacks on Ukraine.
Axar.az reports "We urge him to agree a full, unconditional ceasefire right away so there can be talks on a just and lasting peace," Foreign secretary David Lammy said, as he unveiled the sanctions.
The new sanctions include measures against the supply of advanced weapons systems like Iskander missiles, which have been used against Ukrainian cities.
Additional measures targeted the Kremlin’s “information war,” with 14 new sanctions against members of the Social Design Agency (SDA), expanding previous UK actions against the Kremlin-linked group.
46 financial institutions helping Russian attempts to evade sanctions have also now been sanctioned, as has the St Petersburg Currency Exchange and the Russian Deposit Insurance Agency.
