🌀UKRAINIAN EMBASSY HAILS UK’S DECISION TO STRENGTHEN SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA
✔The Embassy of Ukraine in the United Kingdom has welcomed the decision by the UK Government to strengthen the sanctions regime against Russia.
The embassy announced this on Twitter.
“We welcome the UK Government’s decision to strengthen sanctions regime against Russia. Tougher diplomacy and united action are now essential to ensuring peace,” the tweet said.
The embassy is also looking forward to Ukraine’s other Western partners following the UK’s example.
“Tough economic sanctions is a civilized response to Russian saber-rattling on UA’s border. With a united and straightforward position, we will be able to send Putin a message strong enough to discourage him from making a catastrophic decision to invade Ukraine,” said Ukraine’s Ambassador to the UK Vadym Prystaiko.
On February 10, the British Parliament passed a law to toughen and expand the UK’s sanctions regime against Russia, which allows the government to impose new tough measures.
The UK can now impose sanctions on Russian businesses and individuals in a wide range of economic and strategically significant sectors, such as the chemical, defense, extractives.
“Tough economic sanctions is a civilized response to Russian saber-rattling on UA’s border.”
Sorry, but history has proven beyond any doubt that, although they can cause some pain, such measures do not stop scum like Putin. I’m waiting for the UK government to say goodbye to mafia money and confiscate their assets in the UK. All of it. That would definitely end the rodent’s reign.
Compared to Germany and France, the UK are true friends
This is true. However, as a Budapest Memorandum, Britain should have done a whole lot more. The US too, by the way.
