The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has officially responded to the new package of British sanctions targeting the energy sector of the Russian Federation. The UK government's restrictions apply to all ten largest oil extraction companies operating within the aggressor state.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described this step as a significant contribution to cutting off the Kremlin's financial resources for continuing military operations. According to him, the aggressor must bear an increasing economic cost every day for its ongoing aggression.
“Russia must feel an increasingly high economic price for every day of continued aggression,” Andrii Sybiha emphasized.
The minister also highlighted the importance of continuous data sharing with British allies to identify vulnerabilities within the current sanctions regime. The Ukrainian side expressed special gratitude to UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband for his principled stance and personal leadership in supporting Ukraine.
