Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Wednesday 23 February has drawn a swift international response from western economies, including the UK.
This response includes what prime minister Boris Johnson called a “massive package” of UK trade sanctions against Russia aimed at ensuring the invasion ends in economic failure, unveiled on Thursday 24 February – with more sanctions to come.
The United States, Canada, the EU, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and other nations have also unveiled the first of their trade sanctions against Russia.
