The United Kingdom has expanded its sanctions against Russia with a new package targeting shipping, banking, and industrial entities. The sanctions include six vessels accused of transporting Russian energy exports, including an Arctic LNG carrier, and five oil tankers.
The move is part of a broader effort to increase pressure on Russia's energy sector, which has been a key target of Western sanctions since the invasion of Ukraine. The sanctions package also targets several Russian banks and industrial entities, as well as individuals with ties to the Russian government.
