The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website announced on September 18 that in response to the 21st round of sanctions against Russia passed by the European Union on July 23, Russia has expanded the list of European personnel prohibited from entering Russia. The report said that these personnel participated in military aid decisions to Ukraine, undermined Russia's territorial integrity, harmed Russia's relations with third countries, obstructed Russian maritime transportation, persecuted Russian citizens, formed a so-called anti-Russian legal mechanism, and advocated the illegal seizure of Russian national assets or the use of its proceeds. The list also includes members of the European Parliament and the parliaments of EU member states who voted for anti-Russian resolutions and laws, activists with hostile positions, and representatives of academia. The circular pointed out that the EU continues to implement unilateral sanctions that violate international law, so Russia continues to respond appropriately.
