Russia has imposed personal sanctions on several members of the UK parliament, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement.

According to the respective list publicized by the Russian MFA, 21 UK parliamentarians are on this stop list.

“The comprehensive nature of the anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the UK and the hysterical statements of officials from this country, in which threats are combined with lies and outright hypocrisy, show that London does not intend to abandon its choice of open confrontation with Russia. Russophobia and the desire to destroy Russian statehood remain integral elements of British foreign policy, which is completely subordinate to the task of causing as much damage as possible to our national interests,” the Russian MFA said in a statement.
