Britain says allies should maintain pressure on Russia after US eases oil sanctions

LONDON, March 13 (Reuters) - Britain and its partners should maintain collective pressure on Russia through sanctions as it is the best way to bring an end to the war in Ukraine, a Downing Street spokesperson said on Friday, after the United States eased sanctions on Russian oil.

"It's obviously a decision for the U.S., but our position is clear. All partners should maintain pressure on Russia and its war chest," a spokesperson for Keir Starmer told reporters.

"The best way to continue to stop Russia supporting hostile actors is to continue our collective pressure and end the war in Ukraine."
