Island missing from Russia's "unfriendly" list

The Isle of Man has escaped mention on a Russian list of "unfriendly countries".

The government of the Russian Federation approved and published the list earlier today in the wake of sanctions imposed over its invasion of Ukraine.

The list includes the UK and names territories which have taken action over the war, including Jersey, the British Virgin Islands and Gibraltar - but doesn't name the Isle of Man.

Last week, the Manx government introduced new sanctions against those with links to President Putin's regime.
