UK slaps new sanctions to cut foreign aid to Russian military

Britain on Tuesday imposed a fresh round of sanctions on foreign suppliers to Russia’s military on grounds that these businesses provide Moscow with weapons in its war against Ukraine.

“Today’s landmark sanctions will further diminish Russia’s arsenal and close the net on supply chains propping up Putin’s now struggling defense industry,” Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said in a statement.

The recipients of these sanctions include Iranian drone maker Paravar Pars and a pair of Turkiye-based electronic firms that provide equipment “vital to Russia’s military,” on the battlefield, added the statement.

It went on to underline further global cooperation in a bid to prevent “third parties” from supplying weapons to Moscow.
