On Feb. 12, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced new sanctions against 18 UK citizens, including officials, military personnel, and members of the scientific and academic community, for demonising Moscow. These sanctions, citing the UK's confrontational stance and efforts to demonize Russia and fan the war in Ukraine, also accuse the targeted individuals of Russophobia. Concurrently, Russian lawmakers introduced a bill to ban foreign state-funded organizations, aiming to expand the scope of legislation against 'undesirable' organizations. Additionally, Russia expressed its intention to suspend its membership in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly by Feb. 21, criticizing it as a politicized entity influenced by Washington. Amid these developments, the Moscow Exchange abruptly halted stock market trading on Feb. 13 without providing a reason, marking a significant disruption in Russia's financial markets.
