“UK support to Ukraine: factsheet”
Russia’s
illegal invasion of Ukraine poses a serious threat to UK prosperity and

Russia’s full-scale invasion, the most wide-ranging sanctions ever imposed on a
major economy
UK,
US and EU sanctions have deprived Russia of over $400 billion in revenue since

so (along with the US and the rest of the World) until Russia is defeated. ^
