Electronic equipment that may be used to intercept communications and spy on Ukrainians is the latest product category to be prohibited from shipment to Russia by the United Kingdom.

The UK’s Department for International Trade also declared that taxes and quotations on items from Ukraine will be removed, in response to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s appeal to help the country’s economy while it fights itself against invasion.

According to the UK, the decision would have an impact on vital Ukrainian exports such as barley, honey, canned tomatoes, and poultry.

Tariffs will be reduced for a period of 12 months, although this might be prolonged.

The UK has already restricted the export of luxury goods, aviation and space equipment, oil refining equipment, and innovative technology such as quantum computing, in addition to equipment used to intercept and monitor communications.
