In a statement, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said a “milestone package” of 107 new sanctions will be implemented to “target funds going into Putin’s war chest and propping up Russia’s kleptocratic system.”.
Watch live as foreign secretary David Lammy is expected to announce new sanctions against Russia on the third anniversary of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on Monday, 24 February.
Targets of the sanctions include producers and suppliers of machine tools, electronics and dual-use goods for Russia’s military that are based in a range of third countries including Central Asian states, Turkey, Thailand, India and China.
The sanctions come ahead of a meeting between Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump in Washington next week, with the US president accusing Britain and France of having “done nothing” to end the war in Ukraine.
Other targets include North Korean Defence Minister No Kwang Chol and other North Korean generals and senior officials the government says are complicit in deploying over 11,000 DPRK forces to Russia.
