WARSAW: On April 5, Britain urged G7 and NATO nations to ban Russian ships from their ports, agree on a timetable to phase out oil and gas imports from Russia, and further tighten sanctions on banks and key industries. Speaking in Poland ahead of a meeting of NATO and G7 countries later this week, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said, “On Thursday, I will be urging our NATO and G7 partners to go further in sanctions by joining us in banning Russian ships from our ports, cracking down on more Russian banks, going after industries that are filling Putin’s war chest like gold, and agreeing on a clear timetable to eliminate imports of Russian oil, coal, and gas.”
