The Kremlin on Saturday said it had sanctioned the UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson and 12 other senior British Cabinet members and politicians, barring them from entering Russia.

The retaliatory move was a response to Britain’s support of Ukraine and sanctions against Russia during the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Johnson’s role in coordinating similar efforts among the UK’s Western and international allies.
