Russia Imposes Entry Bans on British Ministers in Retaliation for UK Sanctions

Moscow expands its blacklist following new UK measures targeting Russian oil exports.

Russia has banned 30 additional individuals, including UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, Interior Minister Yvette Cooper, and Finance Minister Rachel Reeves, from entering the country.
The blacklist also includes two journalists from British newspapers, 'The Times' and 'Daily Mail.'
The move follows Britain's new sanctions targeting Russia's fleet used for exporting oil.
The Russian Foreign Ministry accused the UK of pursuing 'Russophobic' policies aimed at isolating Russia on the global stage.
These developments are part of the ongoing fallout from Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, which has led to widespread international sanctions against Moscow.
