The United Kingdom has added two elements to its list of sanctions against Russia. In response, Russia has imposed personal sanctions on 30 UK nationals, including senior government ministers, cabinet members, military personnel, journalists, and defense industry executives. Among those affected are the UK Ministers of the Interior, Finance, and Health. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the sanctions target individuals deemed 'anti-Russian' and are part of an ongoing response to what Moscow describes as hostile actions by the UK. These sanctions include entry bans and the addition of individuals to a stop list. Additionally, a British diplomat was expelled from Russia on Tuesday, further escalating tensions between the two nations.
