The United Kingdom has announced new sanctions targeting Russia’s major oil producers in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The measures freeze assets and restrict trade for several state-linked energy firms accused of financing Moscow’s military operations.

British officials say the move aims to tighten economic pressure on the Kremlin and further isolate its energy sector from global markets.
