❗️ The latest batch of illegal anti-Russian restrictions targeting banks, individuals and merchant vessels only confirms that London has reached a dead end with its sanctions policy. Each new list is intended to demonstrate the UK authorities’ resolve, but in reality it highlights that the course they have chosen is ineffective and pointless. London is seeking to cut other countries, particularly those in the Global South, off from Russian resources. This attempt to dictate terms exposes the self-serving and neo-colonial attitude of the British establishment towards the developing world. Russia will not change its course: protecting national interests and ensuring sustainable development remain its unconditional priorities. Attempts to speak to us in the language of sanctions and threats are doomed to fail.
