According to Russian diplomats, the British leadership is "deliberately exacerbating" the situation around Ukraine, together with NATO, "pumping" Kyiv with weapons. London is “strongly pushing” not only its Western allies, but also other countries to impose sanctions against Russia, according to the Foreign Ministry. Moscow has called such “incitement” unacceptable and the restrictions themselves “meaningless and counterproductive.”

The department promised to expand the list of sanctions in the near future to include British politicians and parliamentarians who “help whip up anti-Russian hysteria, push the ‘collective West’ to use the language of threats in dialogue with Moscow, and engage in unscrupulous incitement of the Kyiv neo-Nazi regime.”

On February 25, the day after the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, the UK imposed sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Restrictive measures include freezing assets in Britain, if such are found. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commenting on the restrictions, said that Putin and Lavrov did not have accounts abroad. Later, Katerina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova, as well as Lavrov's wife Maria and daughter Ekaterina Vinokurova, were included in the British sanctions list. Vorontsov and Tikhonov were called Putin's daughters by the media, in particular the BBC Russian Service, REUTERS and BLOOMBERG.
