Russia has expanded its entry ban list in response to the European Union's 21st package of sanctions.
The move blocks more EU officials from entering Russian territory. It is a direct reply to the EU's latest round of restrictions.
Russia did not say how many people were added to the list. The EU has not yet responded.
The two sides continue to trade sanctions. Each new package from Brussels has been met with a countermeasure from Moscow.
