Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, further to the No10 press release, President Zelenskyy to visit Downing Street as the UK doubles down on support for Ukraine and calls on partners to follow suit, of 13 October 2026, what specific actions will be implemented as part the policy of a maritime services ban on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.

On 20 May 2026, the Government introduced a maritime services ban on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG). The ban prohibits the provision of UK maritime transport and related services, including insurance, for Russian LNG exports to and between third countries. Transitional wind-down arrangements conclude on 1 January 2027. This measure will restrict Russia's access to the UK's world-leading maritime services and further constrain its ability to generate revenue from LNG exports.
