The UK has added 206 individuals and legal entities from the Russian Federation to the sanctions list.
In particular, the main shareholder of Lukoil Vagit Alekperov, the founder and chairman of the board of directors of AFK Sistema Vladimir Yevtushenkov, the former head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin, the owner of the ESN group Grigory Berezkin, the wife of the Russian Foreign Minister Maria Lavrova and the Ukrainian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, who was detained by the SBU the day before.
Recall that due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, France froze the assets of Russian individuals and companies that fell under EU sanctions.
And the EU countries have begun work on the sixth package of sanctions against Russia with "oil options".
In the near future, the foreign ministers will discuss further steps to tighten measures against Russia because of its military aggression against Ukraine.
The cargo, which occupied 24 containers and weighed 1,500 tons, was assembled at the initiative of the UK railway sector, the efforts of company employees and ordinary Britons.
"Five containers are filled with fire-fighting equipment, which is very welcome in the Sumy region. Another three containers carry industrial generators, which are also very welcome in the Kharkiv, Donetsk and Chernihiv regions of Ukraine. The other eighteen containers contain food, hygiene products, water, medicines, clothes, equipment, batteries and much more," the embassy said.
The Embassy would like to thank Network Rail and British Train Operating Company (MoT), DB Cargo UK (Deutsche Bahn), London North Eastern Railway (LNER), Symposium Consulting Ltd, Avanti, MTR Elizabeth Line, The Veterans Charity.
Recall that last week Britain announced additional Starstreak MANPADS and anti-tank weapons for Ukraine.
The Ukrainian military will soon go to Britain to master the armored vehicles that London plans to supply to Ukraine.
