• G7 countries plan a restriction on Russia's diamond trade

The UK isn't waiting, its unveiled new sanctions against Russia’s minerals sector, targeting imports of aluminum, diamonds, copper, and nickel.

The UK is also sanctioning a further 86 individuals and companies from Putin's war machine.

UK prime minister Sunak:

• "Sanctions imposed on Russia by the UK and G7 partners are having a clear and progressive impact in downgrading Putin's war effort,"
• "The G7 remains unified in the face of the threat from Russia and steadfast in support for Ukraine."
