The UK government on Wednesday announced 90 new sanctions targeting Russia's oil giants and Indian petroleum company Nayara Energy Limited, which it said had imported billions of dollars’ worth of Russian crude in 2024.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said the move would help take Russian oil “off the market” and choke off energy revenues that flow into Putin's “war chest” in the conflict with Ukraine. Earlier, Nayara Energy had been hit by European Union sanctions, a move it strongly condemned.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
