| 2022-04-26 |
| [Newsweek] Trade officials in the United Kingdom have announced a new ban on exporting technology to Russia that could be used to spy on Ukrainians. The U.K.'s Department for International Trade on Monday announced the latest trade sanctions against Russia following a meeting between British and Ukrainian officials. The ban is part of a broader effort by western powers to prop up Ukraine as the Russian invasion enters its two-month anniversary. The new ban restricts electronics from being exported to Russia, particularly technology that could be used to intercept or monitor communications and could be used "to repress the heroic people of Ukraine," according to the department. "The UK will continue to do everything in its power to support Ukraine's fight against Putin's brutal and unprovoked invasion and help ensure the long-term security and prosperity of Ukraine and its people," International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan said in a statement. |
