The embassy called the distortion of facts about children the basis of Britain's sanctions against Russia.

Britain's new sanctions against Russian youth organizations are based on distorting facts about children rescued from the war zone. The Russian Embassy in London announced this on May 11.

"Illegal restrictive measures have been introduced against those who selflessly save children in the frontline zone in the face of barbaric shelling using Western, including British, weapons. Against those who take care of the children who have been taken to safety and return them to their childhood," the diplomatic mission told TASS.

The embassy also stressed that the "lies soaked in anger and frustration" that 20,000 children were allegedly forcibly transferred from Ukraine to Russia have been repeatedly convincingly refuted. The diplomats called all this the same brazen deception as the staging of the Butch.

"London initially made lies one of its main tools in Ukraine and continues to be sophisticated in manipulating and distorting facts, while blaming others for this," the Russian Embassy in Britain concluded.

On the same day, Britain expanded the anti-Russian sanctions list, imposing restrictions against 85 individuals and organizations. London's sanctions included several employees of the Russian PR agency Agency for Social Design and a number of non-profit organizations (NGOs).

Restrictions were also imposed on the Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Novosibirsk region, Nadezhda Boltenko, and the Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Kherson region, Irina Kravchenko.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Izvestia on May 11 that after Britain imposed sanctions on a psychiatric hospital and children's camps in Russia, it was time for the London authorities to call paramedics.
