Britain has frozen
some $350 billion (321 billion euros) in assets from the "war chest"
of Russian President Vladimir Putin, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said
during a visit to Warsaw on Tuesday.
"So far, our sanctions have had a crippling impact on
those who feed and fund Putin's war machine. This week we will announce that
we've frozen over $350 billion of Putin's war chest," Truss said.
She said this action meant that "over 60 percent of the
regime's $604 billion foreign currency reserves" were now
"unavailable" to the Russian government.
Truss said "coordinated sanctions are pushing the
Russian economy back to the Soviet era.
"But we can and we must do more," she said.
She called for a ban on Russian ships docking in Western
ports and "agreeing on a clear timetable to eliminate imports of Russian
oil, coal and gas".
She also urged Britain's NATO and G7 partners to impose
curbs on "industries that are filling Putin's war chest, like gold".
Truss said she had been "shocked" by the scenes in
Bucha, a town northwest of Kyiv, where a number of bodies in civilian clothes
have been found following the retreat of Russian forces.
"These are appalling acts of the kind we thought we'd
left in the 20th century. We will hold those responsible to account for what
they've done," she said.
