The UK Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, emphasized the importance of showing full support to Ukraine by imposing sanctions on Russia in response to its ongoing conflict. Cameron stated that the UK government, along with the G7, will sanction Russian entities and disrupt activities such as oil deliveries and financial transactions in an effort to deter Russian aggression. These actions come amidst a global response to Russia’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict, with the US and UK expanding sanctions to target individuals and companies supporting Moscow.
Cameron highlighted the UK’s efforts to blacklist Russian vessels engaged in unauthorized oil deliveries and disrupt global trade with Russia. He also mentioned the impact of these sanctions on the dollar’s standing as a global reserve currency. Despite criticism from China, the US and UK remain steadfast in their support for Ukraine and commitment to curbing Russian influence.
As Cameron prepares for the upcoming general election in the UK, his strong stance on Russian sanctions reflects the government’s determination to uphold international norms and protect Ukraine’s sovereignty.
