UK Hits Russia With New Sanctions as Trump Signals Relief

Britain slammed the Kremlin with unprecedented economic penalties on Monday, expanding its financial battlefront against Moscow by targeting oil transport networks and global military supply chains on the war’s third anniversary.

The measure marks a direct challenge to Washington’s softening stance, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer pushes for greater pressure just days before his scheduled White House meeting with President Donald Trump, who has signaled openness to easing sanctions as part of peace negotiations.

“The G7 should take more risk,” Starmer declared in his Kyiv summit address, advocating aggressive moves against “Russia’s oil giants and banks enabling sanctions evasion.”

The British offensive specifically targets the Kremlin’s economic lifelines — flagging 107 entities across Central Asia, China, India, and Turkey supplying military components, blacklisting 40 vessels in Russia’s sanction-dodging tanker network, and freezing assets of 14 oligarchs and financial institutions. North Korean military officials involved in deploying troops to Ukraine also face restrictions.

While addressing the Support Ukraine summit via video, Starmer reaffirmed Britain’s commitment of £4.5 billion in military assistance for 2025 and outlined his vision for lasting security arrangements.

“Ukraine must have a seat at the table,” the British leader insisted. “The UK stands ready to deploy troops on European soil under the right conditions,” adding that American military backing remains essential for deterring future Russian aggression.

According to The Telegraph, Starmer plans to propose deploying 30,000 peacekeepers to Ukraine in case of a ceasefire during his expected Washington visit this week, with US firepower backing the force.

Australia and New Zealand also announced additional sanctions against Russia this week.
