Britain bans any ship with Russian connections from entering its ports as the country steps up efforts to isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government because of its war in Ukraine.
Announcing the blanket ban in a tweet, British Transport Secretary Grant Shapps encourages other countries to prohibit ships tied to Russia from using their ports.
“We’ve just become the first nation to pass a law involving a total ban of all ships with any Russian connection whatsoever from entering British ports,” Shapps says.
