The BBC reported that the UK was expected to announce new sanctions against Russia aimed at "restricting Putin's war machine" along with other allies of Ukraine on Tuesday.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the measures would increase economic pressure on the Kremlin to show Vladimir Putin that "it is in his and Russia's interest to demonstrate that he is serious about peace."
Downing Street said the new package of sanctions would aim to maintain "pressure on the Russian military-industrial complex" but did not provide further details.
In a statement, Starmer said he and other G7 partners were finalizing new measures at the summit in Alberta and that they would "cut Russia's energy revenues and cut the funds they can pour into their illegal war."
