MOSCOW

Russia has added another 30 British citizens to its list of people banned from entering the country, the Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday.

In a statement, it said the British nationals included UK defense lobby representatives and were encouraging anti-Russian agenda.

Britain has led the way in tough sanctions against Russia since it launched a "special military operation" on Ukraine in February and has also been one of Kyiv’s staunchest supporters.​​​​​​​
