Russia sanctions
Russia imposes entry bans on British ministers
The fact that Great Britain supports Ukraine against Russia’s war of aggression with sanctions and weapons repeatedly causes Russian displeasure. Now Moscow is trying to punish London.
In response to Britain’s support for Ukraine, Moscow has added several British ministers and a number of other political and military officials to a “blacklist.” Those subject to entry bans include Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and Finance Minister Rachel Reeves.
A total of 30 people were added to an existing entry ban list, including two journalists from the Times and Daily Mail newspapers.
New sanctions from London against tanker fleet
“The Russophobic policy, which attempts to discredit Russia’s actions and isolate it on the international stage, reflects London’s mood for further systematic confrontation with Russia,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Britain had previously imposed new sanctions, particularly against the fleet of tankers used by Russia for oil exports. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 and controls a good fifth of the neighboring country, including the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, which was annexed in 2014. Since then, massive international economic and political sanctions have been imposed on Moscow.
