Russia's Foreign Ministry said on June 3 that it had expanded Moscow's sanctions list of British nationals by adding an unspecified number of "representatives of the political establishment, the expert community, and the U.K. media." The ministry said those sanctioned have been responsible for "forming and implementing London's anti-Russian course." It did not give any details on those who were added to the sanctions list.
