Russia’s foreign ministry is sanctioning politicians, journalists, and experts who have directed domestic media toward an anti-Russian stance. Moreover, they have alleged the United Kingdom’s persistent use of misinformation as another basis for its decisions. Furthermore, Russia has identified these UK tactics as a chance to isolate Russia internationally.
Moscow has wanted continued rhetoric in a similar vein that will force a more decisive answer from the country. Earlier this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin was reportedly open to discussing a ceasefire for the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
Additionally, these developments occur as Russia prepares to host the upcoming 2024 BRICS summit, where the Alliance is expected to continue its expansion efforts. Earlier this year, it was reported that three dozen nations are currently seeking admission into the collective.
