Before a meeting in Brussels on Monday, the prime minister said it was necessary to \u201csee all allies stepping up \u2013 particularly in Europe\u201d when it comes to inflicting economic harm on Russia, and argued it would help bring about peace by ending the Ukraine war sooner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump has threatened more sanctions on Russia and it\u2019s clear that\u2019s got Putin rattled. We know that he\u2019s worried about the state of the Russian economy,\u201d Starmer said. \u201cI\u2019m here to work with our European partners on keeping up the pressure, targeting the energy revenues and the companies supplying his missile factories to crush Putin\u2019s war machine. Because ultimately, alongside our military support, that is what will bring peace closer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump said last month he would impose high tariffs and further sanctions on Russia if Putin failed to end the war in Ukraine. He had claimed before the election that he would negotiate an end to the war in just one day. Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, he said that by pushing to settle the war he was doing Russia and its president a \u201cvery big favour\u201d. The UK believes Putin is facing mounting domestic pressure from inflation and high interest rates as a result of the struggling economy, having ploughed billions into bankrolling the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>The UK has imposed sanctions on 2,100 Russian individuals and entities, the majority of these since the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Sanctions on more than 100 ships for transporting Russian energy, including 93 oil tankers, have had an impact on Russia\u2019s oil industry and damaged its economy. Starmer is to meet the Nato secretary general, Mark Rutte, on Monday before his attendance at an informal European defence cooperation meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Rutte has previously said the west is not ready to deal with the threat of war from Russia, and declared it is \u201ctime to shift to a wartime mindset and turbocharge our defence production\u201d. Starmer has been under pressure to set out a timeline for the UK to meet its target of spending 2.5% of GDP on defence, up from just above 2%, but a number of other Nato countries are also not at this level of spending. The prime minister discussed Ukraine at a meeting with the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, in Chequers on Sunday. A spokesperson said Starmer had stressed that it was \u201cimportant to ensure [Ukraine] was in the strongest possible position in the coming months, so that peace could be achieved through strength\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2025\/feb\/02\/starmer-calls-on-european-leaders-to-put-more-economic-pressure-on-russia\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/politics\/2025\/feb\/02\/starmer-calls-on-european-leaders-to-put-more-economic-pressure-on-russia\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/starmer-calls-on-european-leaders-to-put-more-economic-pressure-on-russia\/\">Starmer calls on European leaders to put more economic pressure on Russia<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[14064,588,17808,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-137187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-europea","tag-russia","tag-starmer","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137187\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
