> Russia’s embassy in the United Kingdom called London’s newly announced anti-Russian sanctions illegal and senseless, saying they show reliance on escalation instead of dialogue. It accused Britain of imposing restrictions on vessels, Russian citizens and organizations without evidence, including over alleged abuses involving Ukrainians and the “militarization” of children.
