The G7 countries are preparing to introduce a new package of sanctions against Russia in connection with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This was announced by UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, The Times Hub reported.

“We are already working with the G7 on a new package of sanctions,” the minister said, speaking at the Atlantic Council in Washington.

She, however, did not specify what measures they might be talking about.

The head of the UK Foreign Office noted that these sanctions on Moscow are aimed at “weakening the Russian economy.”

Truss added that, by their actions, the Western countries intend to deprive the Russian leadership of the opportunity to “finance their war machine”.

The head of the UK Foreign Office expressed the opinion that the Russian economy has already “seriously suffered” as a result of G7 sanctions’ pressure.

She called on other countries to join the measures being taken against Russia.
