How have sanctions against Russia changed since January 2025? Is US policy diverging from that of its allies?
To ask His Majesty's Government, with reference to the statement by the Prime Minister on 21 September 2025 that he had directed work to sanction Hamas figures "in the coming weeks", (1) what progress has been made in implementing that commitment, (2) which individuals, if any, have since been sanctioned...

The UK proscribed Hamas in its entirety in November 2021, making it a criminal offence to be a member of or support the organisation. The UK has also sanctioned Palestinian Islamic Jihad, The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command, and a number of associated individuals. The UK Government carefully considers how and when sanctions can be deployed to maximise their impact, but it is our long-standing position not to speculate about specific designations, as to do so could lessen their impact.

HMRC is responsible for enforcing the ban on imports of oil products refined in third countries from Russian-origin crude oil and investigating suspected offences.
HMRC uses a variety of proven methods to detect sanctions breaches, including: risk and intelligence-based checks on goods imported to the UK, auditing businesses involved in the trade of goods subject to sanctions; and collecting actionable intelligence from domestic and international law enforcement partners and the intelligence community.
Importers of diesel and jet fuel may be requested to present evidence of a good's supply chain. In some cases, HMRC officials may require the production of further information relating to the goods.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether an equality impact assessment under the Public Sector Equality Duty was completed before each of HM Government's decisions to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers and settlement-linked entities in 2025 and 2026.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether an equality impact assessment under the Public Sector Equality Duty was completed before each of HM Government's decisions to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers and settlement-linked entities in 2025 and 2026.
The UK has announced four rounds of sanctions since February 2024 against individuals and groups responsible for the violent expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, and against others responsible for inciting that violence. In each case, this has been done as a direct response to specific violent acts committed by the individuals and groups in question, or repeated incitement of violence against Palestinian civilians.
We are not aware of any allegations of an equivalent nature against individuals and groups in the north of Cyprus, but the UK will continue to take decisions on sanctions designations on a case-by-case basis, in accordance with the relevant legal framework and statutory requirements.

On 20 May 2026, the UK introduced a new sanctions package to further target Russian revenues and degrade its ability to wage its illegal war in Ukraine and for the first time processed oil products refined from Russian crude in third countries have been banned. The UK Government published an Impact Assessment alongside the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2026, available on legislation.gov.uk.
Alongside this, a general trade licence, including for jet fuel processed in third countries from Russian crude, was issued to support a managed and phased implementation of complex restrictions, and to provide targeted, temporary flexibility to safeguard UK energy supply and global market stability.
The Government will continue to review the licence every two weeks. This involves continually assessing its impact on energy supply, market conditions and other relevant considerations, against our objective to revoke the licence as soon as is practicable. As part of this process, we have since set an end date of 1 January 2027.
The Secretary of State will consider each application for a trade licence on a case-by-case basis, with key consideration given to whether the proposed activity is consistent with the purposes of the sanctions as specified in Regulation 4 of the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. The Secretary of State must act within the statutory framework Parliament has approved, the licensing power is exercised in a targeted and proportionate way.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the answer of 3 July 2026 to question 13292 on Shipping: Russia, what is the breakdown of the 173 vessels by flag status at the time of transit.
The Department is unable to provide information on the flag status of the 173 vessels as it could compromise our ability to successfully take action in the future.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 3 June 2026 to Question 759 on Russia: Shipping, if he will provide an exact number.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 3 June 2026 to Question 759 on Russia: Shipping, if he will provide an exact number.
Since Question 759 was tabled, the UK has successfully interdicted the sanctioned oil tanker SMYRTOS. The UK has also supported multiple allied interdictions of sanctioned vessels in recent months.
We will not provide a running commentary or get into details of our decision-making process as this could compromise our ability to successfully take action against sanctioned ships, only benefitting our adversaries.
