The United Kingdom announced in recent hours the introduction of new sanctions against Russia. This is a measure that specifically affects the aviation sector. The UK government will be able to intercept and seize any Russian plane that is crossing the British airspace. The decision was announced yesterday, after a video conference speech in the House of Commons by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 

"I have made it a criminal offense for any Russian aircraft to enter UK airspace, and now Her Majesty's Government can detain these aircraft. We will stifle the ability of Putin's accomplices to continue to live normally while thousands of innocent people die", said the British Minister of Transport, Grant Shepps. 

In his speech to British parliamentarians, the Ukrainian president said: "We don't want to lose what is ours, we don't want to lose our country". We will continue to fight for our land, no matter what. We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the coasts and in the streets. "We didn't want this war'' but ''we are fighting with one of the strongest armies in the world'' and ''we have been able to fight back'' always ''remaining human.''
