In lockstep with our allies, we have announced the strongest set of economic sanctions ever imposed against a major economy, which will help cripple Putin’s war machine. The UK has targeted the political elite, cut off Russian banks from the UK, and introduced restrictive trade measures.

As part of this work, we have published trade sanction impact assessments, which are available on GOV.UK: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2022/195/impacts.
