The UK has announced 50 new sanctions against Russia, aimed at degrading Moscow's war machine.
New targets include ships in Vladimir Putin's shadow fleet, institutions at the heart of Russia’s financial system and suppliers supporting Moscow's military production.
"Today's sanctions aim to disrupt and increase the costs of Russia’s efforts to bypass UK and G7 sanctions through its shadow fleet," a statement from No 10 read, referencing Russia's capability to still sell its crude oil despite previous bans.
"These new sanctions also target suppliers of munitions, machine tools, microelectronics, and logistics to Russia’s military, including entities based in China, Israel, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey, along with ships which transport military goods from North Korea to Russia."
