LONDON, May 21 (Xinhua) — The British government on Tuesday announced 100 new sanctions against Russia’s military, energy, financial sectors and those conducting information operations against Ukraine.
London said it was also working to lower the $60-a-barrel oil price ceiling, which would further limit Russian oil revenues.
On the same day, the European Union approved the 17th package of sanctions against Russia. The EU is trying to increase pressure on Russia to achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine.
In response to the sanctions, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that Russia never bows its head to ultimatums. It is obvious that Europe wants to rearm Ukraine to continue the war, she added. –0–
