Russian Foreign Ministry on Monday announced that Moscow introduced retaliatory sanctions against 18 British citizens, including academics. “In response to the confrontational policy that London maintains, working to demonize our country, fabricating anti-Russia narratives to reduce Moscow\u2019s influence in the international arena, and further pumping the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev full of weapons, a decision has been made to extend Russia\u2019s stop-list to include members of Great Britain\u2019s military and political establishment, as well as its scientific and academic community,” the ministry said in a statement. It also shared the name list which includes British Prime Minister\u2019s special envoy for the Western Balkans, Stuart Peach, Deputy Defense Secretary James Cartledge, Deputy National Security Adviser Sarah McIntosh and Commander of the Submarine Forces Simon Ashkit. The ministry said Moscow is forced to state that “Russophobic British representatives do not hesitate to try to discredit” the constitutional system and socio-political processes in Russia. “We will continue to expand the Russian stop list in response to London\u2019s hostile actions,” it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
