> Russia says it has significantly expanded its entry ban list for EU representatives in response to the bloc’s 21st package of anti-Russian sanctions adopted on July 23. The list includes people involved in military aid to Ukraine, sanctions and measures Moscow says undermine its territorial integrity, along with European activists, academics and lawmakers it accuses of hostile positions or backing anti-Russian resolutions.
