Desperate to attack Ukraine, Britain prepares terrible economic sanctions against Russia

LONDON – Britain warns Russia that it is cooperating with its Western partners in setting up severe sanctions targeting Moscow’s financial sector if it strikes Ukraine.

“We will not accept Russia’s campaign to overthrow its democratic neighbour,” British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss told parliament.

“They mistakenly referred to Ukraine as a threat to justify their aggressive stance,” he added.

“Russia is the aggressor here,” Truss said. “NATO has always been a defensive alliance,” he stressed Channel News Asia, Thursday (6/1/2022).

Truss said that any further military attack on Ukraine by Russia would have grave consequences, including coordinated sanctions to impose a severe impact on Russia’s interests and economy.

“The UK is working closely with our partners on these sanctions, including high-impact actions targeting Russia’s financial sector and individuals,” Truss said.

Truss said he would visit Kiev later this month and the situation reached a pivotal moment with only one way forward: for Putin to step back from the abyss.
