Putin Trying To Win By Terrorising Civillians, Says Britain’s Foreign Minister
- On Thursday, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced 38 new sanctions targeting Russian oil companies, shadow fleet tankers, and supply chains during a visit to Pryluky, Ukraine, alongside President Volodymyr Zelensky.
- Miliband and Zelensky visited a five-storey residential building in Pryluky, Chernihiv, where a Russian missile strike killed 22 civilians, including five children, prompting the Foreign Secretary to condemn the 'appalling atrocity.'
- The updated restrictions now cover more than 90% of Russia's total oil production capacity, adding 12 shadow fleet tankers to a list exceeding 600 vessels and sanctioning 17 entities supplying military goods.
- Alongside the sanctions, the UK opened its first dedicated Kyiv Business Centre to enable British firms to establish permanent presence and invest in Ukraine, reinforcing support since 2014.
- The Government also sanctioned three crypto exchanges and two payment platforms—including three linked to Kyrgyzstan—to disrupt financial evasion routes and military supply chains vital for Putin's ongoing war effort.
