"Another 11 British Overseas Territories have been added to the list," said a statement from the Russian government, adding that they supported sanctions imposed against Moscow by the UK.
All 14 OTs now on Russia’s list
With the latest 11 additions, all 14 British Overseas Territories are now on Russia's list.
According to the statement, the list was expanded to include Bermuda, the British Antarctic Territory, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands, Montserrat, the Pitcairn Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Akrotiri and Dhekelia, and Turks and Caicos.
Russia previously introduced sanctions on three British Overseas Territories, which were the island of Anguilla, the [British] Virgin Islands, and Gibraltar.
Under the restrictions being brought in by the Kremlin, financial trades, loans, and real estate purchases will need "special authorisation" if nations from the list are involved.
VI sanctioned since March
The VI was sanctioned by Russia in March 2022.
The [British] Virgin Islands also found itself on a list of 36 countries banned from Russia’s airspace since February 2022.
The ban by Russia came in retaliation to the then-growing list of sanctions imposed on it by governments worldwide, including the United Kingdom and US, over its invasion of Ukraine.
Sanctions against Russia by certain countries included a ban on Russian airlines from using their airspace.
The UK has been one of the leading countries in sanctioning Russia since it launched its war on Ukraine in February. It has also been one of Kyiv's staunchest supporters.

Russia just won't place sanctions unless it had some sort of
financial outcome. Just wondering.
Issues such as this are exactly why independence from reckless politics is important to discuss as a international tourist destination.

Foreign matters of this nature should be handled by the Governor's office or the UK itself. Hopefully, we will never have a another leader like this again.

Progressives in the west are now calling for diplomacy and peace talks. No one wants nuclear war.
Neo Nazis are on the rise in Ukraine and has been responsible for terrorist attacks in the Donbas and Kherson regions. According to FirstPost, Crimier bridge attack, Nord stream 1&2 were both the action of UK military and the US covert operations.
While there is time we the people of the VI advocate peace, sanctions on Russia should be lifted. We support a neutral position just like India.
As for Ukraine, Zelensky has been used like a tool by the west. His government is illegitimate, after the Orange Revolution coup, they took power 2014.
Russia is the the balance of power and peace man must be the priority. NATO continues to destabilize eastern countries for energy resources and economic dominance. We will never forget Lybya and how they removed Colonel Muammar Muhammad Abu Gaddafi.
