Starmer vows new sanctions on Russia and nuclear energy support for Ukraine

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived at the G7 summit in France with a firm commitment to further isolate Russia and bolster Ukraine's defense. Addressing world leaders in Évian-les-Bains, Starmer vowed to implement "choke off" Russian revenue through enhanced sanctions and to provide significant energy support to Ukraine.

Starmer's proposals target Russia's financial infrastructure and its "shadow fleet" of oil tankers, aiming to cripple its ability to fund its war effort. This international pressure comes after a challenging domestic political week for the prime minister, who used the G7 meeting to reassert his leadership on the global stage.
