　　According to reports, Zacharova said, "Recently, the EU has taken a series of unfriendly measures towards Russia and Russian citizens. As in the past, the EU has bypassed the existing international rules, continued to expand sanctions, and often imposed sanctions for far-fetched or even absurd reasons. "

　　Zacharova said, "In response to the EU’s move, Russia has decided to expand the list of representatives of EU member States and EU institutions who are prohibited from entering Russia, and the number of sanctions targets in the list will be equal to that in the European sanctions list."

　　Zacharova pointed out that the above restrictions are based on the Law of the Russian Federation on Exit and Entry Administration.
