Measures are against supply chains for Russian weapons systems, including Iskander missiles.
Sanctions are also against 14 more members of the SDA Agency (SDA), which conducts the Kremlin -funded information operations, designed to undermine sovereignty, democracy and the rule of law in Ukraine and around the world.
In addition, these measures will interfere with Putin’s efforts aimed at bypassing sanctions and will help block his unsuccessful attempts to restore links with the international economy.
There were 46 financial institutions that help Russia to evade sanctions, as well as the St. Petersburg currency exchange and the Russian deposit insurance agency insurance by Russian banks.
The sanctions will also include 18 shadow fleet vessels carrying Russian oil, as well as those who promote the activity of this fleet.
In addition, sanctions against the British citizen John Michael Ormerod were imposed, which purchased vessels for the shadow fleet of Russia, and two Russian Tanker Fleet Tankers.
“Putin’s last blows show his true essence as warfare. We urge him to immediately agree to a full and unconditional ceasefire, so that negotiations can begin a fair and long peace,” said the head of the British Foreign Ministry.
Britain also works with partners on a proposal to reduce the ceiling of prices for Russian oil.
