Britain has imposed sanctions on all ten major Russian oil producing companies.
Referring to this decision, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sibiga emphasized that this is a significant step towards closing the sources of income that finance Moscow's war of aggression.
"Russia must feel an increasing economic price for every day of continued aggression.
The pressure of sanctions should increase, strict supervision of compliance with restrictions should be observed, additional sanctions should be introduced and their circumvention should be strongly opposed. Our ultimate goal is clear - to deprive Moscow of the resources necessary to wage war," the minister emphasized.
The head of foreign affairs noted that Ukraine highly values close coordination with British partners, in particular, constant exchange of information, which helps to identify weak points, close gaps in the sanctions regime and increase the effectiveness of our joint operations.
He also thanked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of Great Britain, Ed Miliband, for his personal leadership, determination and constant support for Ukraine.
