On October 1, 2026, the UK announced a new package of 31 sanctions against Russia aimed at disrupting funding for its war against Ukraine. The sanctions target individuals and entities involved in the torture of Ukrainian civilians and the indoctrination of children, following sham elections in occupied territories. Eight individuals linked to the torture of civilians and seven involved in the indoctrination of children are included in the sanctions. The measures also address Russia's shadow fleet, which is used to transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) and evade sanctions. The UK government emphasized the need to counter Kremlin disinformation networks and hold accountable those responsible for human rights abuses. This announcement comes as Russia has intensified drone attacks on Ukraine, launching over 3,100 drones in September alone. The sanctions package reflects the UK's ongoing commitment to support Ukraine amid escalating tensions.
