The UK continues to work closely with international partners to take robust action to reduce the Myanmar military's access to arms, military equipment, fuel and funds, and to call for states to prevent or halt the flow of arms to the Myanmar military, including most recently in June with other G7 Leaders. This Government will continue to use our leadership role at the G7 and at the UN to advocate for further action. The UK has so far announced 6 sanctions specifically targeting the import of aviation fuel to the Myanmar military.
