The Russian government has added 11 British Overseas Territories to its unfriendly countries list, the Russian Cabinet’s website said on Sunday.

“Eleven more British Overseas Territories have been added to the list [of territories] that supported the sanctions imposed by the UK on Russia. These are: Bermuda, British Antarctic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, St. Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Turks and Caicos Islands,” the message says.

It is noted that originally the list included only three British-controlled territories: the island of Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands and Gibraltar. “Thus, all 14 British Overseas Territories are now included in the unfriendly countries list,” the message reads.
