Russia-Ukraine update: UK slaps fresh sanctions on Russia

A man walks past banners reading ‘future’ and informing people about a referendum on joining the Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine with Russia, in the Russian-controlled city of Melitopol in the Zaporizhia region of Ukraine on September 26, 2022.

The United Kingdom has imposed new sanctions on Russia over Moscow’s “sham” referendums in four occupied regions of Ukraine.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban says EU sanctions against Russia have “backfired” and driven up energy prices in the bloc.

The Kremlin says no decision has been taken on closing Russia’s borders after military-aged men fled following its partial mobilisation order.

The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog says he is ready to hold talks with Ukraine and Russia this week on setting up a protection zone at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
