British Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced on Saturday that the United Kingdom will continue putting more pressure on Russia through sanctions and will take further action to "constrain the Russian war machine", APA reports.
Following a conversation between Burnham and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the UK government said in a statement that both leaders stressed that Moscow should agree to an immediate energy ceasefire and stop its "brutal strikes" on Ukrainian infrastructure and shipping in the Black Sea.
"This would immediately release more energy and food supplies into the global market," Burnham and Zelensky emphasized, and agreed to meet in person in the coming days.
