UK wants to keep sanctions until Russia pays compensation to Ukraine

The UK has introduced legislation that will allow it to keep sanctions against Russia in place until Moscow pays compensation to Ukraine, the British foreign ministry said, reported from Reuters.

"As Ukraine continues to defend itself against Russia’s invasion, the terrible impacts of Putin’s war are clear. Ukraine’s reconstruction needs are – and will be – immense,” British foreign minister James Cleverly said.

"Through our new measures today, we’re strengthening the UK’s sanctions approach, affirming that the UK is prepared to use sanctions to ensure Russia pays to repair the country it has so recklessly attacked.”
