The Russian Foreign Ministry has included in the “black list” the heads of British PR companies

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has imposed personal sanctions on 30 heads of British PR companies that promote the anti-Russian information agenda, as well as representatives of the country’s defense lobby, says in a statement from the Foreign Office.

“In connection with the continuation of the unfriendly course by the British government, in which London takes measures aimed at discrediting Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine and consistently provides military support to the Nazi regime in Kyiv, a decision was made to include 30 leaders in the Russian “stop list” British structures responsible for the coordinated promotion of the anti-Russian information agenda, as well as representatives of the UK defense lobby,” the statement said.

The Foreign Ministry noted that the ban on entry into Russia was introduced, among other things, against the Director General of the Public Relations and Communications Association F. Ingham, co-founder of the network marketing structure PR Network N. Regazzoni and chemical and biological defense expert H. de Bretton-Gordon. “Ingham and N. Regazzoni are directing resonant Russophobic stories in order to impose Western approaches and manipulate public opinion,” the ministry said.

In early August, the Russian Foreign Ministry turned on to the sanctions list of 39 British politicians, businessmen and journalists who “contribute to the hostile course of London, aimed at the demonization of our country and its international isolation.”

The sanctions list includes former British Prime Minister David Cameron, member of the House of Lords George Robertson, leader of the UK Labor Party Keir Starmer, “shadow” ministers for foreign affairs, socio-economic development of regions and housing, international trade David Lammy, Lisa Nandy and Nick Thomas-Symonds, as well as Scottish politicians.

Among businessmen, Paul Kahn, a partner at Renaissance Strategic Advisors, Clive Rhodes, founder of Royal Consulting, and Christopher Samuel, founder of Christopher Samuel Associates, were subject to restrictions. The list also includes journalists from The Times, The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Times, Sky News, the head of the BBC news service, as well as employees of The Economist, Sun, ITV.
