The UK government has stressed that it is actively working to stop British companies from supplying components for weapons production to Russia. Sky News reports this, writes UNN.

A British government spokesman said that Britain takes reports of its goods being exported to Russia "extremely seriously."
We have banned the export of thousands of goods to Russia, including all the combat assets that Ukraine has informed us about, and together with our international partners, we have imposed the toughest package of sanctions ever applied to a major economy.
The spokesman added that any British company found to be committing such an offense could face criminal prosecution or significant financial penalties.
