The Russian Foreign Ministry imposed sanctions against 39 British citizens. Among them are the former prime minister and 12 journalists

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs imposed sanctions against 39 British citizens - they were banned from entering the territory of the Russian Federation. In a press release, the department said that these politicians, businessmen and journalists "contribute to the hostile course of London, aimed at the demonization of our country and its international isolation."

The list is headed by former Prime Minister David Cameron. In addition to him, the leader of the Labor Party Cyrus Strarmer, member of the House of Lords George Robertson, Scottish cabinet secretaries Angus Robertson and Fiona Hyslop, head of the British-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce Beit Thoms, as well as 12 journalists from the Times, Guardian, Telegraph, Economist, Sun , BBC and TV channels ITV and Sky News.

“The harmful actions of the UK in planting Russophobia, spreading false information about our country and supporting the Kyiv neo-Nazi regime will receive an adequate and decisive response from the Russian side,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said. The agency also promised to continue work on expanding the Russian "stop list".

• At the end of July, Russia imposed sanctions against 39 citizens of Australia, and a little later, against 32 citizens of New Zealand. In mid-June, the Russian Foreign Ministry put 49 British citizens on the “stop list”, and at the end of the month 25 American citizens, including the wife and daughter of the US President Jill and Ashley Biden.
