Britain said it has reduced tariffs on all Ukrainian goods while prohibiting some technology exports to Moscow in order to assist Kyiv in its fight against the Russian invasion. Responding directly to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s request, the UK’s international trade department announced Monday that it had reduced “all tariffs on goods imported from Ukraine,” including key exports such as barley, honey, and poultry.
“The UK will do everything in its power to keep Ukraine’s fight against Putin’s brutal and unprompted invasion,” international trade secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan said in a statement.

At the same time, Britain declared that it would prohibit the export of “products and technology that Russia could use to repress the heroic people of Ukraine,” possibly including surveillance and interception equipment.
Britain stepped up its sanctions against Russia last week, targeting army chiefs and imposing import bans on silver, wood products, and caviar.

The invasion has sparked an outpouring of support from both sides of the Atlantic, with Western nations imposing a slew of financial sanctions and funneling weapons into Ukraine to assist Kyiv in repelling Russian troops.

The latest UK measures come as Russia warns that the conflict, which is now in its third month, is on the verge of escalating into World War III.
For months, Zelensky has been pleading with allies to do more, including sending artillery and fighter jets, claiming that more firepower could turn the tide of the war.
