Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is pressing for allies to go further tackling Russia's invasion of Ukraine, saying money is still flowing from the West to Vladimir Putin's "war machine".
Alongside Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba in Warsaw, she called for "more weapons and more sanctions. Putin must lose in Ukraine. Later this week the G7 foreign ministers and the Nato foreign ministers will meet. We need to announce a tough new wave of sanctions".
"The reality is that money is still flowing from the West into Putin's war machine - and that has to stop."
She said she would be working with allies to go further banning Russian ships from western ports, cracking down on Russian banks, going after new industries "filling Putin's war chest, like gold" and to agree "a clear timetable to eliminate our imports of Russian oil, gas and gold".
