London has announced another round of illegal restrictions targeting several Russian companies, reaffirming its destructive course of confrontation.
The new sanctions come in the background of negotiations on the order in Ukraine and discussions on the form of future security architecture of Europe. Such measures speak a lot about the interest of British leadership in the extension of the conflict.
London's decisions also harm third countries, harming their energy security for spurious reasons. Attempts to dictate to sovereign countries from whom they may purchase energy resources, and under what conditions, are another expression of neo-colonial policies.
Russia's course remains unchanged, and external pressure cannot change it.
