Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford, and former prime minister David Cameron are among the latest figures who have been added to Russia’s sanctions list.
The foreign ministry says they are no longer allowed to enter Russia.
Other figures include the head of Sky News, John Ryley, BBC presenter Huw Edwards, ITV journalist Robert Peston, and TV presenter Piers Morgan.
The ministry said Russia’s “stop list” includes British politicians, businessmen and journalists who “contribute to London’s hostile course aimed at the demonisation of our country and its international isolation”.
It hit out at the “continued application by the UK government of the mechanism of sanctions restrictions against representatives of the socio-political circles of Russia, domestic economic operators and the media”.
The ministry said the “pernicious actions of the UK in planting Russophobia, spreading false information about our country and supporting the Kyiv neo-Nazi regime will receive an adequate and decisive response from the Russian side”.
“The choice in favour of confrontation is a conscious decision of the British political establishment, which bears all responsibility for the consequences.”
