"We must do what we can to protect the fundamental freedoms of Ukraine and its people," Sunak said.

The ministry said Sunak had called for the G7 and bank governors to "go faster and further", with more action to effectively target Kremlin-connected elites and their families, but did not outline what measures were under consideration.
