UK slaps 100 new sanctions on Russia
The UK has slapped Russia with 100 new sanctions, targeting the country's military, energy and financial sectors.
Foreign secretary David Lammy labelled Vladimir Putin a "warmonger" as he pointed to Russia's strikes across Ukraine over recent days.
"We urge him to agree a full, unconditional ceasefire right away so there can be talks on a just and lasting peace," he said, as he unveiled the sanctions.
What are the latest sanctions?
Among the sanctions are measures targeting the supply of weapons systems, such as Iskander missiles, which have been used indiscriminately in Ukraine.
Russian misinformation is also in the UK government's cross-hairs.
14 more members of the Social Design Agency (SDA), a Kremlin-funded information operation, have been sanctioned - with the leaders of the group already singled out last year.
46 financial institutions helping Russian attempts to evade sanctions have also now been sanctioned, as has the St Petersburg Currency Exchange and the Russian Deposit Insurance Agency.
