(MENAFN) British Premier Rishi Sunak stated on Friday that additional restrictions on Russia are going to guarantee Moscow compensate a price for its impact in the conflict with Ukraine.
"We believe in democracy, freedom, the rule of law - and it's right that we stand up for those things," Sunak informed the BBC.
"I'm hopeful and confident that our partner countries will follow as they have done when we've done this previously," he added. "That will make the sanctions more effective, ensure that Russia pays a price for its illegal activity."
The UK declared an additional phase of restrictions directed at businesses and individuals associated to Russia’s volume to invest the conflict.
An overall of 86 designations aim individuals and organizations related to Moscow's energy, metals, defense, transport as well as economic industries.
Between procedures being taken by the UK is a sanction on Russian diamond shipment, an industry that constituted about USD4 billion (£3.2 billion) to the nation’s shipment income in 2021.
