❌ London has announced yet another round of unlawful restrictions targeting a number of Russian companies, reaffirming its destructive course of confrontation. The new sanctions come amid negotiations on a settlement in Ukraine and discussions on the shape of Europe’s future security architecture. Such measures speak volumes about the British leadership’s interest in prolonging the conflict. London’s decisions also harm third countries, undermining their energy security on spurious grounds. Attempts to dictate to sovereign states from whom they may purchase energy resources, and on what terms, are yet another manifestation of neocolonial policy. Russia’s course remains unchanged, and external pressure cannot alter it.
