UK hits military suppliers propping up Russia's war machine
The UK government announces new sanctions targeting people and groups that are supplying and funding Putin's war machine.
- UK聽announces 46聽new sanctions targeting individuals and groups supplying and funding Putin바카라 사이트檚 war machine
- this includes businesses in聽Belarus, China, Serbia, Turkey the UAE聽and聽Uzbekistan聽who continue to support Russia바카라 사이트檚 illegal invasion of Ukraine
- by including聽entities operating聽in聽China, Serbia, and Uzbekistan聽the UK has now聽taken action聽against over 30聽third-country entities supporting Russia바카라 사이트檚 war efforts.聽This signals the UK바카라 사이트檚 no tolerance approach to those enabling Russia바카라 사이트檚 illegal war,聽wherever they may be
Foreign military suppliers exporting equipment and parts to Russia are among dozens of individuals and groups sanctioned today to target those helping Putin바카라 사이트檚 war machine. 聽
Russian weapons manufacturers and defence importers聽were also among the list of 46 new sanctions imposed as well as聽3聽actors supporting the Wagner Group network聽and聽4 operators of聽so-called 바카라 사이트榮hadow fleet바카라 사이트� vessels used by Russia to soften the blow of oil-related sanctions imposed by the UK alongside聽G7 partners.聽 聽
As the Prime Minister said to Ukraine바카라 사이트檚 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a call last week, the UK바카라 사이트檚 support for our Ukrainian allies is steadfast.聽Today바카라 사이트檚 measures will disrupt Putin바카라 사이트檚 ability to equip his military through third-party supply chains聽in聽Belarus, China, Serbia, Turkey, the UAE聽and Uzbekistan.聽
The move will聽hit Russia where it hurts and starve聽Putin of the resources聽he needs for his illegal war on Ukraine. 聽
Today바카라 사이트檚 package comes as G7 leaders are due to discuss and agree additional聽measures designed to:聽
- go further to bear down on the revenue Russia needs to finance Putin바카라 사이트檚聽war machine
- prevent Russia from accessing inputs to its military and industrial base, and
- demonstrate聽to Russia there is a price to pay for the damage it has caused to Ukraine 聽
Among those sanctioned聽today聽are: 聽
- Russia바카라 사이트檚 military industrial complex:聽31聽individuals聽and entities聽linked to designing and manufacturing drones and missile parts and聽importing and supplying key electronic components. This includes several聽directors and their immediate family members
-
third country聽suppliers to Russia바카라 사이트檚 military:
- JSC Display Design Bureau, a Belarusian defence organisation linked to manufacturing military technology for the Belarusian regime, which has directly facilitated바카라 사이트疨utin바카라 사이트檚 illegal war
- AVIO CHEM, a聽Serbian company which has sent multiple shipments of aircraft바카라 사이트痯arts and accessories to Russian entities
- MVIZION, an Uzbek company which acted as intermediary to import parts to Russia
- a Turkish entity, Smart Trading Limited, involved in the supply of sanctioned western electronics to Russia
- 3 Chinese聽entities: Asia Pacific Links Limited, Sinno Electronics Co., Limited, and Xinghua Co., Limited, supplying sanctioned goods, critical for Russia바카라 사이트檚 war efforts
- Wagner Group related:聽3 entities and individuals linked to the Wagner Group바카라 사이트檚 wider network, including聽RUSICH Military group,聽a聽private Russian company active in Ukraine and its commander
- oil related: 4 UAE-based entities using聽opaque corporate聽structures and deceptive shipping practices to聽facilitate聽unfettered trade in Russian oil, bearing down on聽Russia바카라 사이트檚 efforts to generate war revenues
Sanctions are starving Russia바카라 사이트檚 military of key western components and technology. Alongside our partners, sanctions on international supply chains have resulted in a 98% reduction of Russian imports of battlefield technology聽from sanctioning countries. Pre-invasion Russia was a major exporter of arms. Instead, it is now having to turn to North Korea and Iran for unreliable equipment and to buy back parts it previously exported to other countries. While the world is moving forwards technologically, Russia is going backwards.바카라 사이트� 聽聽
In tandem with today바카라 사이트檚 sanctions, the National Crime Agency has today issued an advisory for聽the UK바카라 사이트檚 regulated聽sector. This advisory provides banks and other聽firms聽with key red flags of transactions聽and customer attributes聽commonly聽associated with sanctions evasion. We call on industry to report all suspicious activity, and potential sanctions breaches as set out in the guidance.聽 聽
Sanctions Minister Anne-Marie Trevelyan聽said:
Today바카라 사이트檚 sanctions will hit Putin聽where it hurts,聽damaging Russian defence systems,聽and cracking down on illegal supply chains聽propping up Russia바카라 사이트檚 war machine. 聽
Working alongside our G7 partners and international allies we will continue to聽ratchet up pressure on聽Putin聽and聽crack down on聽third parties providing restricted goods and technology to Russia, wherever they may be. 聽
Today바카라 사이트檚 sanctions tackle Russia바카라 사이트檚바카라 사이트痳epeated attempts바카라 사이트痶o circumvent and offset the clear impact UK sanctions are having on its war effort. 聽聽
In August聽the UK launched one of its largest ever actions targeting Russian military suppliers and last month took action to disrupt聽a covert procurement network used by Russia to acquire聽critical western technology. Today바카라 사이트檚 announcement builds on these actions and cracks down on those who continue to supply and fund Putin바카라 사이트檚 illegal war in Ukraine. 聽
