The United Kingdom has announced 31 new sanctions targeting Russia, according to a government statement, as Moscow intensified its aerial campaign against Ukraine.
The statement said Russia fired more than 3,100 jet-powered drones into Ukraine during September, surpassing the previous monthly record set in August and marking what officials described as an escalation in the scale of drone attacks since the war began.
The new measures add to a long series of sanctions packages imposed by the UK and its allies since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine started in February 2022, as Western governments continue seeking ways to constrain Moscow's war effort.
Further details on which individuals, entities or sectors are covered by the latest round were not included in the available statement.
