Written question asked by Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) on Thursday, 14 April 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 20 April 2022. It was answered by Mike Freer (Conservative) on Tuesday, 26 April 2022 on behalf of the Department for International Trade.


Trade: Russia

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if she will take steps with her international counterparts to discourage trade with Russia that may aid or assist that state's invasion of Ukraine.

Answer

In lockstep with our allies, we are introducing the largest and most severe package of economic sanctions that Russia has ever faced, to maximise the impact on Russia’s campaign in Ukraine and cut off funding for Putin’s war machine.

Whilst we do not speculate on future sanctions, we will continue to consider further measures to increase pressure on Putin’s regime.
