For the first time in its history, Great Britain did not import fuel from Russia after the introduction of sanctions in connection with the invasion of Ukraine.

 This is reported by Sky News.

 Imports of goods also fell to 33 million pounds in June, the lowest level since January 1997, according to the Office for National Statistics.

 Imports of all goods fell compared to the monthly average for the 12 months to February, the year before the invasion.

 Although exports to Russia rose slightly in June compared to the previous month, they were down by £168m, around 67% on the monthly average for the 12 months to February.

 Exports of most goods fell significantly in the year to June, with exports of machinery and transport equipment falling by £118m, or 91%.

 Chemicals were the only commodity exported to Russia over the period, thanks to a £39.1m (61.8%) increase in non-sanctioned exports of medicines and pharmaceuticals.
