Foreign Ministry statement on personal sanctions on members of the UK military and political establishment as well as scientific and academic community

In response to the confrontational policy that London maintains, working to demonise our country, fabricating anti-Russia narratives to reduce Moscow’s 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’s stop-list to include members of Great Britain’s military and political establishment, as well as its scientific and academic community.

It is impossible not to acknowledge how eagerly British representatives, driven by pure Russophobia, work to discredit our country’s constitutional system and socio-political processes. A substantial share of London’s subversive anti-Russia efforts is undertaken by the so-called brain trusts that operate out of major British and Western educational institutions.

Great Britain’s strategy for Ukraine, which promises only further escalation and loss of live, is regularly reflected in impudent statements by British politicians and military officials who speak with a sense of total impunity. The British must understand that by pushing the Zelensky regime to continue the bloodshed they bear responsibility for crimes against civilians along with the Ukrainian neo-Nazis.

 Below is the list of British nationals who will be denied entry to the Russian Federation:

1. James Cartlidge, Minister of State for Defence Procurement;
2. Charles Roland Vincent Walker, Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff (Military Strategy and Operations);
3. Sarah MacIntosh, Deputy National Security Adviser for International Affairs;
4. Simon Asquith, Director of Submarines;
5. Timothy David Neal-Hopes, Commander of the National Cyber Force;
6. Stuart Peach, UK Prime Minister’s Special Envoy to the Western Balkans;
7. Daniel John Hannan, Member of the House of Lords;
8. Michael Anthony Ashcroft, Member of the House of Lords;
9. Ray Edward Harry Collins, Member of the House of Lords;
10. Ivor Norman Richard Davies, University of Oxford;
11. Timothy John Garton Ash, University of Oxford;
12. Roy Allison, University of Oxford;

We will continue to expand the Russian stop list in response to London’s hostile actions.
