British Foreign Secretary James Cleverley announced on Friday a new package of sanctions and trade measures against the Russian Federation, including a ban on the export of all goods used by Russia on the battlefield in Ukraine.

In addition, 92 individuals and legal entities were included in the list. In particular, the heads of Rosatom, Rostec, and Almaz-Antey and four banks.
Restrictions were also introduced against:

- Oleksiy Dyumin, head of the Tula region;
- Oleksiy Kozak, son of the former Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Dmytro Kozak;
- 20 executives of Gazprom and Aeroflot, including the chairman of Gazprom, former Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Viktor Zubkov, and two current Russian ministers;
- 6 Russian organizations engaged in the production or repair of military equipment for the army;

In Great Britain, it was emphasized that today's measures will cause even more damage to the Russian Federation and its military-industrial complex, undermining Putin's military machine, which already has to mobilize Soviet-era tanks.
"Today we are imposing sanctions on the elites who run Putin's key industries and committing to ban the export to Russia of all goods that Russia uses on the battlefield," Cleverley said.
