President Zelensky responded that his country was extremely grateful for sanctions imposed on Russia by the UK. And even happier with the weapons being supplied to Ukraine.
The sanctions war started when Russia invaded Ukraine
The sanctions that the United States and its European allies imposed on Russia are the most comprehensive and restrictive ever imposed against a large nation with economic power.
There have been sweeping sanctions on Russian oligarchs and their families. Putin and his family are also under sanction. And this allows the sanctioning governments to confiscate the billionaires’ wealth.
Russian diplomats have been booted out of many countries. And 300 Moscow politicians were named. Russian banks are also banned.
The United Nations voted to remove Russia from the Human Rights Council. And now there is an American ban on Russian energy imports. And the waves of sanctions continue.
Moscow Retaliates
Moscow imposed similar sanctions to those in the UK against US President Joe Biden last month.
