❌ London continues its pointless sanctions policy against our country. This time, illegal restrictions have been imposed on commercial vessels, as well as on Russian nationals and organisations whom the British authorities baselessly accuse of violating the rights of Ukrainians and of “militarising” children.

The “children’s issue” is being exploited with particular cynicism – now under the pretext that Russia is allegedly indoctrinating “millions of minors” in the new regions and stripping them of their identity. These claims do not stand up to scrutiny.

One need only look at Ukraine itself, where the Russian language, spoken by millions of people, is banned, the canonical Orthodox Church is persecuted, monuments are destroyed and streets are renamed. What is this if not an attempt by Kiev to erase historical and cultural identity?

The UK government’s reliance on pressure and escalation instead of dialogue merely demonstrates its lack of interest in a political and diplomatic settlement of the Ukraine conflict.

It is naive to believe that yet another tightening of sanctions will change anything: Russia is calmly adapting to the restrictions and will continue to pursue the goals of the special military operation. Meanwhile, London’s anti-Russian course and its support for the Kiev regime have tangible consequences for ordinary Britons. Record diesel prices in the UK are clear evidence of this.
