The British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss He said sanctions imposed on Russian individuals and companies could be lifted, or at least mitigated, should Russia withdraw from Ukraine and commit to ending the aggression. This is reported by the British newspaper Telegraph.

“What we do know is that Russia has signed more agreements that they just don’t respect. So there must be tough countermeasures and sanctions, said Truss. “These sanctions should be reconsidered with a ceasefire and full withdrawal, but also with a commitment not to engage in new aggression,” the minister explained, noting that on the other hand there was scope for sanctions to be tightened and tightened. The UK government claims it has hitherto imposed sanctions on Russian banks and financial firms that own £500bn in assets 150 billion pounds.
The minister also recalled how the current crisis has brought London and Brussels closer together whose relations were very strained and deteriorated as a result of the Brexit negotiations. “One of the points I would like to emphasize is that we have worked closely with the European Union in these circumstances,” he said, adding, “There are some areas where we have differences with the EU. But fundamentally we are all democratic nations, we all believe in the freedom and right of people to choose their own government and We are very united in battle.“
