Sul @Corriere l'intervento dell'Ambasciatore ๐ฌ๐ง @EdLlewellynFCDO sul regime sanzionatorio del Governo UK contro le bande coinvolte nel traffico di esseri umani e nella migrazione irregolare, il primo al mondo in questo ambito ๐๏ธ L'articolo completo: bit.ly/4eXl9G4
๐ A world-first move from the UK. From tomorrow, people smugglers and those helping them can be hit with tough new sanctions - frozen assets, UK travel bans, and public exposure. Weโre going after the networks fuelling this deadly trade, wherever they operate.
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
The appalling scenes in Gaza are unrelenting. The UK will pull every lever we have to get food and lifesaving support to Palestinians, and we will evacuate children who need urgent medical assistance. This humanitarian catastrophe must end.
๐จ SANCTIONED: Notorious people smugglers and their enablers. In a world-first move, the UK has sanctioned individuals and entities linked to people smuggling to further protect Britain's borders. This is the UK's Global Irregular Migration Sanctions Regime in action โคต

We stand united with our European partners behind Ukraine.โฏโฏ Together we are hammering Putin's oil revenues, stranding his beleaguered shadow fleet and blocking billions from his war chest.โฏ Only through maximum economic pressure will we achieve a just and lasting peace.
This is the first sanctions regime of its kind in the world. It targets not just smugglers, but the money, materials, and enablers behind them. A major step to protect the vulnerable and tackle a key cause of irregular migration to the UK โคต๏ธ gov.uk/government/newโฆ

Russian spies are trying to destabilise Europe, undermine Ukraineโs sovereignty and threaten the safety of British citizens. Today we are exposing this activity and sanctioning those responsible. Protecting the UK from harm is fundamental to this governmentโs Plan for Change.
Russian military intelligence routinely uses cyber and information operations to sow chaos, division and disorder in Ukraine and across the world. Today, the UK is exposing this activity and sanctioning those responsible โฌ๏ธ
