Today, Saturday, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that British authorities It deliberately inflames the situation in Ukraine by continuing to supply Kyiv with lethal weapons and coordinating its efforts with the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
She said that it was unacceptable for London to push its Western allies, and even other countries as well, to impose wide-ranging sanctions on Russia, which she described as “counterproductive”, according to what was reported by the Russian “TASS” agency.
On the other hand, Britain confirmed the continuation of unlimited support for Kiev despite the latest Russian sanctions.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said today that he has informed his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, of the additional military support Britain will provide to his country in the coming days.
I updated my friend @ZelenskyyUa this afternoon on further military aid we will provide to Ukraine in the coming days.
The UK will stop at nothing to ensure Ukrainians have the resources they need to defend their country from the ongoing Russian onslaught. # StandWithUkraine️

“Britain will spare no effort to ensure that the Ukrainians have the resources they need to defend their country against the current Russian campaign,” he added on his Twitter account after a phone call with the Ukrainian president.
Banned List
Earlier today, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that it had included British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Secretary of State Liz Truss and Defense Secretary Ben Wallace are on the no-entry list to Russia, in response to British sanctions.
It is noteworthy that since the launch of the military operation announced by Moscow on February 24, the tension has escalated in an unprecedented way between it and the West, which entailed a security alert in Europe, and support for Kiev with weapons, equipment and humanitarian aid.
European countries have sent missiles, defense systems, weapons and mechanisms, but they have not sent aircraft or offensive “quality” weapons.
However, Britain had the strongest position against the Russians, as it imposed a series of huge sanctions that included the exclusion of major Russian banks from the British financial system, and the freezing of assets owned by all Russian banks, and London also prevented companies from exporting spare parts or aviation technologies to Moscow.
Britain also considered the flight, take-off or landing of Russian planes, run by Russian companies, or leased to Russian personalities, as a crime under the law.
Its sanctions affected a large number of wealthy Russians and officials, with the aim of impeding the Russian economy and influencing the country’s richest personalities.
