Russia: Sanctions

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent discussions he has had with NATO counterparts on Russian sanctions.

Answered by Luke Pollard

Sanctions are primarily an FCDO lead, but I can say that the UK and other NATO allies do all we can to shut down the funding for Putin’s illegal war in Ukraine.

The UK has led action against Russia sanctioning over 2,500 Russian targets including over 280 shadow fleet vessels, and allied sanctions have deprived Russia of over $450 billion worth of funds for its war.
