prime minister David Cameron, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, and Foreign and Commonwealth Office communications director Helen Bower-Easton, as well as The Times columnist David Aaronovitch and The Economist deputy editor Edward Carr.Taking into account the destructive desire of London to spin the sanctions flywheel under far-fetched and absurd pretexts, work on expanding Russias stop list will continue, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement announcing the bans.In a separate move, the Russian Prosecutors General Office on Monday deemed the London-based Calvert 22 Foundation as an undesirable organization, state-run Interfax reported.The Prosecutors Office said Calvert 22 which promoted Russian arts and culture, particularly through its Calvert Journal publication "pose[s] a threat to the foundations of the constitutional order and the security of the Russian Federation."The Calvert Journal suspended publication indefinitely following Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb.
24.Organizations branded undesirable are required to disband within Russia, and any Russian who cooperates with them or cites their work faces criminal prosecution.Russia has added a total of 216 British nationals, including outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, to its so-called stop list of individuals barred entry into the country.
