British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said sanctions against Russia should be tightened "until every single member of the Russian forces leaves Ukraine."

The Prime Minister called, during the British House of Commons session, to the allies in the West not to “undo” the sanctions imposed on the regime of Vladimir Putin to force it to end the military operation in Ukraine.

The British newspaper, "Evening Standard", reported that Johnson called for "tightening" economic measures against the Kremlin and providing more military support to the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The British prime minister added that no sanctions should be lifted just because Putin agreed to a ceasefire.
