>”We are committed to strengthening our sanctions on Russia to degrade its ability to wage war in Ukraine, whilst protecting critical supply chains and maintaining market stability,” a spokesperson for the U.K. government [told](https://x.com/faisalislam/status/2056844099081113691) the BBC.
>John Foreman CBE, an associate fellow at Chatham House and former U.K. defense attache to both Kyiv and Moscow, called the move “cynical but understandable.”
>Alexander Kirk, a sanctions campaigner at the NGO Urgewald, said the move sends the wrong signal to Moscow, noting that Russian [state media](https://kyivindependent.com/tag/propaganda/) is already portraying it as proof that Western resolve weakens when fuel prices rise.
>”Celebrations will be happening in the Kremlin today… The danger here is not just the economic signal, but the political message it sends,” he said. “Moscow will read this as weakness.”
Man Europe and the West collectively should really get their act together and this is after they have been bashing other nations which have been buying oil from Russia over the past 2-3 years.

All the more reason why the issue with Iran & the Strait of Hormuz needs to be resolved ASAP.
Trump really made a mess of things by opening that can of worms. It needs to be sorted once and for all.

Been mostly pretty supportive of the uk government this term, but given I’m currently in Ukraine they can get fucked for this. Definitely lost a lot of support from me

Antifascism, human rights, democracy are just a charade, buzzwords which fall off when profit aka “critical supply chains and maintaining market stability” are endangered. If Nazi UFOs land tomorrow, world leaders would bend over to receive hooked cross shaped dildos. I’m kinda baffled how WW2 came to be, why did they resist Hitler? Don’t say morals and ethics.
