UK slaps new sanctions on Russian banks, energy

Britain slapped another round of sanctions on Russia Wednesday in response to its invasion of Ukraine, targeting two banks and eliminating all Russian oil and coal imports by the end of the year.

"Our latest wave of measures will bring an end to the UK's imports of Russian energy and sanction yet more individuals and businesses, decimating (Vladimir) Putin's war machine," Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said in a statement.
