Britain said on Wednesday it had imposed a new round of sanctions "on Russian military and Kremlin elites," including six entities providing military equipment such as drones for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The sanctions also target 8 individuals and 1 entity connected to financial networks that help "maintain wealth and power amongst Kremlin elites," the government said as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in Britain.

"Ukraine has shown Putin that it will not break under his tyrannical invasion. He has responded by indiscriminately striking civilian areas and critical national infrastructure across the country," Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said.

"We cannot let him succeed. We must increase our support."
