Britons will feel the economic impact of the sanctions against Russia – they will be reflected in energy bills and the cost of living. This was stated by British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, speaking in Parliament.
“Of course, due to anti-Russian sanctions, the British will face economic costs in terms of energy bills and the cost of living. But this is nothing compared to the price that the people of Ukraine are paying for this terrible barbarism that they are now enduring,” Ms Truss said.
The minister added that the restrictions on the people of Britain will not compare “with the consequences they will face if Putin is allowed to succeed.” “Because, as we know, if Putin does not lose in Ukraine, there will be no limit to his ambitions,” she said.
Liz Truss added that London is doing everything to help Ukraine and does not stop supplying defensive weapons to Kiev. “This is a battle that Putin must lose,” the head of the British Foreign Office concluded.
The Russian military operation in Ukraine began on the orders of Vladimir Putin on February 24. Western countries imposed tough economic sanctions against Moscow, banks and other financial institutions fell under the restrictions. Many foreign companies have announced their withdrawal from the Russian market. Against the backdrop of restrictions on supplies from Russia, world prices for oil, metals and wheat began to rise sharply.
