Russia has banned entry to 54 British nationals, including Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and journalists from the BBC and other media outlets in response to U.K. sanctions against its citizens and enterprises, the Foreign Ministry said on August 18.

The ministry said it will continue expanding the list in retaliation for sanctions. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
