The UK is planning to ban companies from providing services, such as shipping and insurance for Russian LNG exports.
In October, the European Union (EU) approved new sanctions that will ban Russian LNG imports from 1st January 1, 2027, and both the UK and the US targeted Russia's two largest oil companies, Lukoil and Rosneft.
The UK government said that it wanted to go further, by cutting off Russian access to companies that provide services for LNG exports.
"The ban will be phased in over 2026 in lockstep with our European partners," Britain's Foreign Office said in a statement ahead of this week’s Group of Seven foreign ministers meeting in Canada.
Britain also announced £13 mill of funding to help repair Ukraine's energy sector and deliver support to Ukrainians worst-hit by the loss of heating and power.
