Sanctions: Russia
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps the Government is taking to help prevent any goods looted by Russian forces in Ukraine that have entered non-combatant countries being imported into the UK.
- Answer
-
The government has announced the strongest set of economic sanctions ever imposed against a major economy, to help cripple Putin’s war machine. These measures have been implemented in coordination with our international allies and include a comprehensive set of actions targeting imports on a range of Russian military, energy-sector and revenue generating goods.
Such measures include the prohibition of all imports consigned from or originating in non-government controlled Ukrainian territory. This means that even if the immediate location the goods were shipped from was not non-government controlled Ukrainian territory, the prohibition would still apply.
