LONDON, August 7. /TASS/. A new package of sanctions against Russia, approved on August 6 by British authorities, shows that the recent change in UK prime ministers has not altered London’s anti-Russian stance, the Russian embassy in London told TASS.

"More than 3,400 restrictions imposed with the aim of inflicting a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia have failed to produce the desired result. The latest round of sanctions by the UK authorities against Russia demonstrates that the change in political leadership has not affected London’s anti-Russian course. Since the start of the special military operation, Britain has waged a full-scale economic war against our country, churning out ever-new restrictions in the hope of achieving an illusory goal," the diplomats noted.

"Each new package only confirms that the sanctions campaign has proven futile. Moreover, it exacerbates the erosion of international trade, freedom of navigation, and financial stability. Ordinary consumers, including UK citizens, are suffering as a result," the embassy pointed out.

Russian diplomats stressed that "the lasting and just peace that London speaks of is achieved not by increasing military supplies to the Kiev regime and intensifying sanctions pressure but by addressing the root causes of the crisis."
