After Russia invaded Ukraine, countries across the world, including the UK, introduced huge economic sanctions on the country.
Despite that, Sky News has uncovered evidence that luxury British cars are still being sold to Russians.
Sky’s Economics and Data editor Ed Conway tracked some of these high-end cars to the Georgia-Russia border in the Caucasus mountains.

Russian Gas in Europe vice-versa European car in Russia
🇷🇺
They should be encouraged..let them waste money😊
Shocking!
That'll give me sleepless nights.
Go track your corrupted government and immigrants flooding your country. Such a waste of time
Please check Klaipeda port Lithuania. We can see too many American and Canada stolen cars. They sold to Russia.
Everrything going on in the world,and he's wasting time worrying about a few cars?!
citezansip some company
There is an easy solution to that – ban export cars to any country that has trade relations to any country that borders Russia. China will take these markets and then Sky News will make another "brilliant investigation" – "Why GB economy is collapsing…"
Journalism is dead.
No body cares USA sanctions😂😂😂
Shows how weak sanctions are…
This has to be one of the most pointless news reports I've ever seen. Who cares what luxury cars Russians are buying? The cost of these cars is a drop in the ocean compared to the billions the UK, EU, and USA are pumping into this never-ending war, and it pales in comparison to the support Russia is receiving from its allies.
When mainstream outlets like Sky are focusing on stories like this, it's pretty clear they've run out of meaningful topics to cover.
Georgia desperately want to join the EU…. the EU should tell them, stop letting these cars through and then we can continue talking…. VINs can be checked at the border….. cars can be prevented from crossing…. I don't see the problem here.
I heard Volkswagen is doing pretty good over Russia sanctions
Unilateral sanctions won't work! It's just giving incentive to countries to smuggle and make more money while hurting common people in that country
Cmon who cares
I don't blame them. Money! 🤑
Useless report.
i dont care.wha should anyone care about your sanctions and war 😀
Sakartvelo 🎉
Oh come on, does anyone actually still believe the sanctions are real?
Just force RR, Porsche, BMW etc to disable the cars… such an easy fix honestly…
Why they so interested in Russia's luxury cars ..this is such a joke
This is why there will never be a proper global nuclear war. The people at the top in every country in the world need their vanity goods…
Noup, mostly from South Corea.🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
cuz they still want to be like the west
Nato means nothing 😂😆 just fooling the average citizens of earth…
let them have their cars, it costs extra anyways to grey import..
I was at the Lithuanian-Belarussian border and there is kilometres long queues of German cars with temporary license plates just waiting to be sold to Moscow and Minsk.
Money talks. Money=power.
The war and sanctions are paying off for Russia and Russians. Before the war Russia has 69 billionaires in the country. Today Russia has 120 billionaires with Moscow housing 74 of them. It really promoted their indigenous products. Moving their overall GDP from has moved up as well. Best decision Putin ever made for most of the Russians
Russia is not the enemy.
The main enemy to mankind is the USA politicians.
❤🇷🇺
Yeah and Russian oil is still getting to Europe through the corrupt regime of Azerbaijan.
We should all be coming up with ideas to get keir starmer out of power he will destroy this country, instead were worried about a bmw in russia. Everything is backwards
guys is all about money
Shady Georgians, plus ca change…
Türkiye is making billions of dollars trade with Russia and buying gas from Russia selling it to Europe and more joke sanctions 😂😂
This is news???? 😂
It is difficult to stop the rich money makes the world go round money makes things happen it is what it is
To be fair to JLR , how can they prevent a dealer in Azerbijan selling a RangeRover to anybody who has money to buy one , and even the dealer cannot prevent that car being re – sold into Russia . The fault lies entirely with the Azerbijani border police allowing the sanctions to be broken
Mainstream media will die one day, people know they are being manipulated now.
of course goods are still getting in. money doesnt care about politics.
How about that Russian gas and oil that Britain is importing non-stop? How about a "research" on that…or that's all hush hush? I don't care, just don't try to make idiots out of everyone by using decoys.
Sanction is a joke. Greed and profit matters.
