A recent survey indicates that a majority of Britons support the continuation of sanctions on Russian oil, even in the face of rising living costs. According to the poll conducted by More in Common, only 22% of the population favors lifting these sanctions, while 68% of Conservative voters and 66% of Liberal Democrats advocate for their maintenance. Approximately 49% of respondents believe that sanctions should remain until Russia withdraws from Ukraine, reflecting a strong sentiment against aiding the Russian economy. The rising energy costs, driven by the conflict, have led to a 13% increase in the energy cap, raising typical household bills to £1,862 per year. The UK government has emphasized its commitment to maintaining pressure on Russia, having imposed the most extensive sanctions ever on a major economy, targeting over 3,300 Russian individuals and entities. The government argues that the path to reducing energy bills lies in accelerating the transition to clean, domestically produced energy.
