The UK government intends to extend anti-Russian sanctions after the conflict in Ukraine is over. This was stated by Deputy Minister for Business and Trade of the UK Nusrat Ghani.
“The sanctions will continue to be in place when the conflict ends. They will not be lifted the same day the conflict ends,” Nusrat Ghani said, speaking at the Policy Exchange think tank in London.
The UK government intends to prevent “the restoration of Russia’s military capabilities” immediately after the end of hostilities, Ghani added.
Earlier, Rostec deputy CEO Vladimir Artyakov said that the global popularity of Russian Su-35 fighter jets, Ka-52 helicopters, T-90 tanks, heavy flamethrower systems and barrage munitions on the arms market had increased against the background of their use in special operations in Ukraine.
