Russia[/B] announced on Saturday that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other senior British officials are banned from entering the country, in response to British sanctions against Moscow over its military operation in Ukraine.
This measure was taken in response to the rampant communication and political campaign aimed at isolating Russia internationally and creating the right conditions to obstruct our country and strangle the [NATIONAL] economy, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
It denounces London's unprecedented hostile actions, particularly the sanctions against Russian high-ranking officials.
The British government is deliberately seeking to aggravate the situation around Ukraine by providing lethal weapons to the Kiev regime and coordinating similar efforts in the name of NATO, the Russian Foreign Ministry added in the statement.
In addition to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Moscow's blacklist also includes Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, former Prime Minister Theresa May and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
The ministry's statement added that it will soon expand the list.
