Scottish Green co-leader - and Scottish government minister - Lorna Slater and her fellow Green MSP Ross Greer have also been added, as has Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton.Other figures on the list include the head of Sky News, John Ryley, BBC presenter Huw Edwards, ITV News' political editor Robert Peston, TalkTV presenter Piers Morgan, and The Sunday Times' political editor Caroline Wheeler.
says its"stop list" includes British politicians, businessmen, and journalists who"contribute to London's hostile course aimed at the demonisation of our country and its international isolation". The foreign ministry hit out at the"continued application by the UK government of the mechanism of sanctions restrictions against representatives of the socio-political circles of Russia, domestic economic operators and the media".
It said the"pernicious actions of the UK in planting Russophobia, spreading false information about our country and supporting the Kyiv neo-Nazi regime will receive an adequate and decisive response from the Russian side". "The choice in favour of confrontation is a conscious decision of the British political establishment, which bears all responsibility for the consequences."
