The package targets energy revenues, blocks critical oil flows (including sanctions on PJSC Transneft and 48 oil tankers), and targets Russia\u2019s illicit oil trade network (notably 2Rivers with about 175 linked companies). It also targets 49 entities and individuals involved in sustaining Russia\u2019s war machine, nine Russian banks, six LNG-related targets (including two exporter terminals), three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/indicted-powerful-former-ohio-utilities-chairman-dead-suicide-suspected\/\" title=\"Former Ohio utilities chairman indicted found dead; suicide suspected\">nuclear energy companies<\/a>, and two people responsible for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >securing nuclear installations overseas<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The sanctions were announced on the fourth anniversary of Russia\u2019s invasion and are described as the UK\u2019s most aggressive measures to date. In Kyiv, UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper announced further funding for Ukraine, including \u00a330 million to strengthen energy resilience and humanitarian support, bringing total UK assistance to about \u00a321.8 billion since the war began. prime Minister Keir Starmer reaffirmed continued support for Ukraine, while President Zelensky criticized Putin and warned against escalation. The overarching message is that russia is not winning and Western support for ukraine will endure.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">UK imposing &lsquo;nearly 300 new sanctions on Russia&rsquo; over attacks on Ukraine<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2513978\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/united-kingdom\/\">United Kingdom<\/a> announced what it described as a &ldquo;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/uk-announces-biggest-sanctions-package-against-russia-four-yearson-from-full-scale-invasionof-ukraine\">landmark sanctions package<\/a>&rdquo; against Russia for its invasion and continued attacks on Ukraine.
