UK's abuse of unilateral sanctions adds fuel to fire

Amid concerns that the Gaza conflict may distract the West from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, G7 leaders convened with the Ukrainian president by video on Wednesday to showcase their continuing support for Ukraine.

Besides additional supplies of weaponry to Ukraine, the leaders vowed to further undermine the military capabilities of Russia.

Also on Wednesday, the United Kingdom announced a new sanctions package, targeting 46 individuals and entities allegedly equipping the Russian military with the design and manufacture of drones and missile parts and the importing of electronic components.
