Moscow said the decision had been made in retaliation to the UK's sanctions against it since it invaded Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The full list is:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Prime Minister Boris Johnson<\/p>\n

2. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss<\/p>\n

3. Defence Secretary Ben Wallace<\/p>\n

12.Attorney General for England and Wales and advocate general for Northern Ireland Suella Braverman<\/p>\n

13. Conservative MP and former British Prime Minister Theresa May<\/p>\n

In a statement, Russia's foreign ministry said: “London's unbridled information and political campaign aimed at isolating Russia internationally, creating conditions for containing our country and strangling the domestic economy” were responsible for its decision.<\/p>\n

It added: “In essence, the British leadership is deliberately aggravating the situation around Ukraine, pumping the Kyiv regime with lethal weapons and coordinating similar efforts on the part of Nato.”<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the UK and US governments announced further sanctions on Russia.<\/p>\n

The sanctions included financial measures designed to damage Russia's economy and penalise President Putin, high-ranking officials, and people who have benefited from his regime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
