UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said that the latest US sanctions on Russia's largest oil companies improve Ukraine's prospects in countering the Russian invasion.

Details: Starmer assessed that, following last week's events related to efforts to halt Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, "we're in a better place".

Quote: "The one I'd pick out as the biggest development is what we've done on sanctions. We sanctioned all the oil majors, President Trump then sanctioned the two oil majors, and the EU came out with their latest package all within the space of a few days. That's had a profound impact on Russia's economy."

Details: The UK prime minister said he spoke with Trump on Sunday and discussed, among other things, the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine.

Background:

• Trump is seeking a full European withdrawal from Russian oil and gas. He recently imposed sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil, Russia's largest oil companies.
• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy previously explained to Trump why Ukraine requires Tomahawk long-range missiles.
