PM planning new Russia sanctions

SIR Keir Starmer is set to announce a fresh wave of sanctions on Russia as he said the UK will “do every thing in our power to destroy” President Vladimir Putin's shadow fleet.

- 

Officials have said the Government will take action against up to 100 oil tankers that have been carrying cargo in defiance of sanctions.

It comes as the Prime Minister is in Norway for a meeting of the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), a military coalition of 10 European nations, where they are expected to announce further support for Ukraine.

Number 10 said that the package will target vessels that have carried more than 24 billion US dollars worth of cargo since the start of last year.
