UK PM Boris Johnson is barred from entering Russia due to sanctions

Bloomberg: The Russian government said it was retaliating against U.K. sanctions imposed on its top officials by banning entry to Prime Minister Boris Johnson and most of his cabinet members.

According to the Foreign Ministry, a dozen others will also be blocked from going to Russia, including Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, Defense Minister Ben Wallace, and former Prime Minister Theresa May

The list will soon be expanded to include politicians and members of parliament blames for "fueling anti-Russian hysteria," it added.

With its supply of weapons to Ukraine, U.K. has been among the most assertive Western countries in imposing sanctions on Russia.
