Russia announced Saturday it would sanction British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, along with other top British officials, in response to measures the United Kingdom has taken against Moscow since its invasion of Ukraine.
Along with Johnson, Russia sanctioned nine ministers, the deputy secretary of defense, the attorney general for England and Wales and former British Prime Minister Theresa May.
“This step was taken as a response to London’s unbridled information and political campaign aimed at isolating Russia internationally, creating conditions for containing our country and strangling the domestic economy,” Russia said in its announcement.
The British government has given millions of dollars to Ukraine to help it in its fight against Russia, providing weapons and humanitarian aid.
