Moscow blacklists 213 Tory and 74 Labour MPs in retaliation for London’s sanctions.
The Kremlin targeted members of the House of Commons accused of whipping up “Russophobic hysteria” in retaliation for sanctions imposed by Britain on 386 members of Russia’s parliament, the Duma.
Russia on Wednesday imposed sanctions against 287 British members of Parliament, in retaliation for last month’s blacklisting of Russian lawmakers by London. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow announced the full list of Conservative and Labour MPs banned from Russia, saying that they were the most active spreaders of “Russophobia hysteria” in the UK.
The UK sanctioned 386 deputies of the Russian State Duma on March 11, for their decision to vote in favour of the recognition of Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states. Citing the principle of reciprocity, Moscow has announced the blacklisting of some – though not all – members of the House of Commons.
The 213 MPs of the ruling Conservative party and 74 MPs of the opposition Labour “took the most active part in the establishment of anti-Russian sanctions instruments in London, and contributed to the groundless whipping up of so-called Russophobia hysteria in the UK,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said. The House of Commons has a total of 650 MPs.
“Hostile rhetoric and far-fetched accusations coming from the mouths of British parliamentarians not only condone the hostile course of London, aimed at demonizing our country and isolating it internationally, but are also used by opponents of mutually respectful dialogue with Russia to undermine the foundation of bilateral cooperation,” the ministry said, adding that it will continue to work on developing retaliatory countermeasures, given London’s ongoing activity to expand anti-Russian sanctions”.
Among those blacklisted from entry is Speaker of the House of Commons Lindsay Hoyle, as well as Cabinet members, including Minister for Brexit Jacob Rees-Mogg and Environment Secretary George Eustice. The list also includes Labour politicians, among them Diane Abbott who is a close ally of former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The opposition Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is not on the list and ‘has not been sanctioned’ by the Russians.
Prime minister, Boris Johnson was sanctioned on April 16.
