Russia bans 54 UK nationals from entering Moscow: Know Why

Russia on Friday announced new sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor and UK ministers.

Russia’s official news agency Tass (TASS) gave this information. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Moscow has also expanded its sanctions list by barring 54 UK nationals from entering Russia as a retaliatory measure.

According to the Foreign Office, the list now includes Britain’s Minister for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Lucy Fraser. Lucy is promoting a campaign to separate Russia from international sport.
