"Russia Bars Entry for 18 British Citizens in Moscow Ban"

Russia has banned 18 British military, political, and academic figures from entering the country in response to what it perceives as London's efforts to diminish its global influence. The ban includes individuals from various sectors, including defense, academia, and politics. Russia's Foreign Ministry accused the UK of supporting the "neo-Nazi regime in Kyiv" and contributing to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. In retaliation, the UK has imposed sanctions on nearly 2,000 Russian nationals for their alleged support of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
