UK introduces new sanctions on Russian airlines

UK Foreign Minister Liz Truss said that, for as long as Russia continues its assault on Ukraine, Great Britain will continue to target the Russian economy.

“Today we’re making sure they can’t cash in their lucrative landing slots at our airports. Every economic sanction reinforces our clear message to Putin – we will not stop until Ukraine prevails.”

Thanks to the new sanctions, Russia won’t be able to benefit from their landing slots in Britain’s major airports, thus losing up to GBP 50 million.
