The United Kingdom announced what it described as a “landmark sanctions package” against Russia for its invasion and continued attacks on Ukraine. The “nearly 300 new sanctions on Russia,” targeting its energy revenues, are being hailed as the U.K.’s most aggressive economic action against Russia since the start of the war. 

“The U.K. has announced a landmark sanctions package, cutting off critical oil revenues and further degrading the Kremlin’s ability to wage its illegal war,” read a press release issued by the U.K. government. The announcement of the package comes on the exact date that Russia invaded Ukraine four years ago.
