The US and its Western allies have imposed comprehensive sanctions on Russia under the pretext of the Ukrainian war. Despite unprecedented sanctions and Western efforts to isolate Russia, the Kremlin has been able to maintain its economy. The New York Times said in a report: Moscow has been able to show good flexibility despite widespread sanctions over the past six months. According to the AN news agency, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced in a statement on Friday that Moscow placed 54 British citizens on the sanctions list. According to the statement from Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a number of journalists from the BBC and the Guardian and Daily Telegraph newspapers will be added to the list of people banned from entering Russia.

According to the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, "Karim Khan", the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, who was involved in issuing the arrest warrant for "Vladimir Putin", the President of the Russian Federation, is on this list. Late last March, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin on charges of war crimes in Ukraine. Moscow has always denied accusations that Russian forces committed crimes during the year-long war with Ukraine. This international court issued an arrest warrant for the Russian president, claiming that Putin is suspected of illegally deporting children and illegally transferring residents of the territory of Ukraine to the Russian Federation.
