UK Hits Russia with 100+ New Sanctions on 3rd Anniversary of Ukraine Invasion, Targeting Putin

15 hours ago

Three years after President Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the UK has announced its largest sanctions package since 2022. Over 100 new sanctions directly target individuals, companies, and financial institutions aiding Russia's war efforts. The package includes sanctions on military suppliers, shadow oil fleets, and foreign entities supporting Russia, including North Korean officials and banks in Central Asia. The UK government says these measures will disrupt Putin's war machine and strengthen Ukraine's defense.

00:00Colleagues, let me start with Vladimir and say on this day of all days, I want to pay

00:29tribute to your leadership, Vladimir. And friends, it is right that we mark this grim

00:37anniversary together. For three years, we have been united in opposition to Russia's

00:45barbaric invasion. And for three years, we've been full of admiration for the incredible

00:51response of the Ukrainian people. Their voices must be at the heart of the drive for peace.

01:00And I want to be clear that I hear them. I think of the soldiers and the civilians that I met in

01:07Kyiv just a few weeks ago, in the ICU, the burns unit. The witnesses to the horror of Lutsk. The

01:17schoolchildren I met living under constant bombardment. The soldiers training in the UK

01:23frontline. Their voices echo in my ears. They inform the decisions that I take and the peace

01:31that I believe that we must see. So I have a very simple, clear message today. The UK is with you

01:41today and every day. From His Majesty the King, to the NHS workers volunteering in hospitals in

01:50Ukraine. To the communities that took Ukrainian refugees to their heart. And that's why I signed

01:58our 100-year partnership with President Zelensky last month. Because we believe in Ukraine's

02:04fight today and the country's incredible potential to thrive in the years to come.

02:11This is a time for unity. In this crucial moment, as talks begin, we must work together to shape

02:20the outcome. Russia does not hold all the cards in this war. Because the Ukrainians have the

02:27courage to defend their country. Because Russia's economy is in trouble. And because they have now

02:35lost the best of their land forces and their Black Sea fleet in this pointless invasion.

02:43So we must increase the pressure even further to deliver an enduring peace. Not just a pause

02:49in the fighting. And we can do that in three ways. First, by stepping up our military support to

02:58Ukraine. And the UK is doing that. Providing £4.5 billion in military aid this year, more than ever

03:07before. We're doing more than ever to train Ukrainian troops, helping Ukraine to mobilise

03:13even further. And we're proud to have taken on the leadership of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group.

03:21Secondly, we must keep dialling up the economic pressure. To get Putin to a point where he is

03:28ready not just to talk, but to make concessions. So today we're announcing the UK's largest packet

03:35of sanctions since the early days of the war. Going after Russia's Shadow Fleet and going over,

03:42going after companies in China and elsewhere who are sending military components.

03:48Later today I will be discussing further steps with the G7. And I'm clear that the G7 should be

03:54ready to take on more risk. Including the oil price cap, sanctioning Russia's oil giants and going

04:02after the banks that are enabling the evasion of sanctions. Third, we must bring our collective

04:09strength to the peace effort. President Trump has changed the global conversation over the last

04:16few weeks. And it has created an opportunity. Now we must get the fundamentals right.

04:24If we want peace to endure, Ukraine must have a seat at the table. And any settlement must

04:31be based on a sovereign Ukraine. Backed up with strong security guarantees. The UK is ready and

04:40willing to support this with troops on the ground. With other Europeans and with the right conditions

04:47in place. And ultimately a US backstop will be vital to deter Russia from launching another

04:55invasion in just a few years time. So we will do everything we can to get the best outcome for

05:02Ukraine and for us all. And let me close with one of the voices I mentioned earlier. A patient

05:11called Petro from the Burns Unions that I visited in Cuba. He said to me, if Ukraine fails, Europe

05:22will collapse. And that is what is at stake here. That is why we will always stand with Ukraine and

05:29with our allies against this aggression and for a just and lasting peace. Slava Ukraine. Thank you.
