The UK has announced a new package of 70 sanctions targeting Russia's shadow fleet and finance networks as part of efforts to support Ukraine and curb Vladimir Putin's war funding. The measures come as Prime Minister Keir Starmer meets with G7 leaders in France, where he emphasized the need to choke off revenues fueling Russia's aggression. The sanctions will increase the number of sanctioned shadow fleet and Russian LNG vessels to over 600. Additionally, the UK will supply £210 million in enriched uranium to Ukraine's nuclear power producer, Energoatom, to bolster its energy infrastructure. This announcement follows the interception of a Russian oil tanker by British forces, marking a significant escalation in the UK's military response. Starmer reiterated the UK's commitment to Ukraine, stating that Russian aggression threatens European security. The sanctions also target individuals from the GRU intelligence agency involved in procuring Western technology for Russia's military.
