Russia's Foreign Ministry retaliates against Britain by implementing counter-sanctions, barring access for 21 entities
In the ongoing tensions between the United Kingdom and Russia, both nations have taken significant steps that have further strained their relationship.
Recently, the UK imposed sanctions on various entities and individuals, including Leonid Shumakov, the head of the A7A5 project linked to a cryptocurrency tied to the Russian ruble. Other organisations affected by these sanctions include Kyrgyz firms Grinex, Tengricoin, and Old Vector, as well as Altair Holding from Luxembourg and LLC "Capital Bank of Central Asia". The ban also extends to representatives of media, NGOs, consulting structures, and expert communities from the UK, as well as citizens of third countries who cooperate with British media and consulting structures.
In response, Russia has imposed a ban on entry for 21 UK citizens. The move is a reaction to the UK's ongoing confrontational policy towards Russia and its active support for Ukrainian authorities, including military aid. The ban is also connected to London's actions aimed at "demonizing" Russia and attempts to reduce Moscow's influence on the international stage.
Meanwhile, a Russian news website has introduced a subscription service that promises to provide the latest news from Russia and the world. The service, available on their website and the main messenger of Russia - MAX, does not provide specific details about the type of news provided, the cost of subscription, the frequency of news updates, or any additional benefits for subscribing. It also does not mention any restrictions or conditions for subscription, exclusivity or priority access to news, or any information regarding specific UK media persons or NGO representatives included in the new Russian sanctions list.
Despite these developments, the website encourages users to join the subscribers of its service. It's unclear how these sanctions and counter-sanctions will impact the future of UK-Russia relations, but one thing is certain: the news landscape is rapidly evolving in this complex geopolitical climate.
