Britain has imposed sanctions on 135 oil tankers and two trading companies involved in Russia's illegal export of oil valued at $24 billion from 2024. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized that the measures will weaken Putin's fleet and reduce funds for the war. It also highlighted the long-term impact of sanctions on the Russian economy, which is facing inflation and falling oil revenues. London and Berlin are working together to support Ukraine militarily, including by delivering anti-aircraft missiles.
