Russia to impose sanctions on the UK. Due to Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, the UK decided to sanction almost all the members of the Russian Federation Council last March. In a written statement made by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was announced that in line with the principle of “reciprocity”, 154 members of the upper house of the British Parliament, the House of Lords, were included in the sanctions list.

According to the statement, “the British government’s decision in March of this year to include all members of the Russian Federation Council on the sanctions list brings personal sanctions to 154 members of the British Parliament’s House of Lords on the basis of “reciprocity.” These people, who will no longer be allowed to enter Russia, are in London, where they have attempted to isolate Russia and create conditions for Russia’s economy to collapse.”

According to the statement, while the full list, which includes the Speaker of the House of Lords, John Francis Mcfall, has been published, studies are ongoing to expand the sanctions list even further.
