More progress in cutting off financing for Russia’s war machine, this time through a price cap on Russian refined oil products. Thanks to #G7 partners for agreeing this today. #oilpricecap

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

NEWS: The UK, G7 partners & Australia have agreed to set price caps on Russian refined oil products traded by firms shipping to third countries.

The caps will put further pressure on Putin’s revenues & undermine his war machine in the face of its illegal invasion of Ukraine.

[Kate Joseph @KateJosephKJ]

It was a great privilege to chair this event today with @HolocaustUK and @HMD_UK and hear from Vera Schaufeld and @SmajoBeso, who both found refuge in the UK from the horrors of genocide. Their stories were moving, powerful and must be heard. #HolocaustMemorialDay

[H.E.T. @HolocaustUK]

Powerful event to mark #HolocaustMemorialDay at the @cabinetofficeuk, with @OliverDowden and Vera Schaufeld MBE, who came to the UK as a refugee from Nazi persecution.

@sarahelenelson @zsllondonzoo I haven’t! Excellent nature knowledge.

[Kate Joseph @KateJosephKJ]

Apparently pelicans turn pink in the spring (is it spring? 🥶). I’ve worked at the edge of St James’s Park for nearly two decades and only just found this out (thanks @zsllondonzoo).

[Kate Joseph @KateJosephKJ]

@sarahelenelson @zsllondonzoo Yes! The two in combination. Any info on the exact food gratefully received - are there little shrimps swimming around in SJP lake?? https://t.co/3FPIS5e2eH

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

In partnership with the G7, Australia and the EU, the UK has agreed to set the price cap on Russian crude oil traded by firms shipping oil to third countries at $60.

Clamping down on the funding streams for Putin’s horrific invasion of Ukraine.

[Kate Joseph @KateJosephKJ]

The UK and G7 agreed today to cap the price of Russian oil at $60, to stop Russia from using high oil prices to finance its invasion of Ukraine. The cap comes into force on Monday.

[HM Treasury @hmtreasury]

Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt met with Ukrainian Finance Minister @SergiiMarchenk3 this afternoon.

They spoke about the United Kingdom's support for Ukraine in the face of Putin's horrific invasion.

#SlavaUkraini

[Kate Joseph @KateJosephKJ]

Sanctions on Russia *are* having an effect on Putin’s ability to finance his invasion of Ukraine. 👇🏼

[Kate Joseph @KateJosephKJ]

Figures from @hmtreasury’s Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation show we have frozen more than £18 billion of Russian assets.

Alongside those of our #G7 partners, UK #sanctions are severely hampering Putin’s war machine. #Ukraine
