Russia sanctioned British political leaders and analysts after Moscow accused London of maintaining hostile policies. The Foreign Ministry targeted individuals who support stronger economic restrictions against Russia and participate in anti-Russian activities. Officials named James Byrne from the Open Source Center, Anna Deibel-Jung from trade sanctions, Scottish National Party lawmaker David Doogan and Foreign Office official Max Petrokofsky among those affected. Treasury personnel also faced penalties.
Moscow claims Britain seeks Russia's strategic defeat through Ukrainian forces while spreading anti-Russian propaganda. The ministry warned that British efforts to isolate Russia would receive strong retaliation. Russian officials plan to expand their sanctions list further as tensions escalate between the nations.
