Graham Phillips, from Nottingham, has been criticised for pro-Putin coverage of the war in Ukraine
A British journalist who has worked for Russian media has been officially sanctioned by the UK government.

In 2014 Mr Phillips, while working for Russia Today, was detained but then released by the Ukrainian authorities.In April Mr Aslin, originally from Newark, Nottinghamshire, was seized by Russian forces during the battle for Mariupol.At the time Newark MP Robert Jenrick said the footage was "a flagrant breach of the Geneva Conventions" and Mr Phillips was "in danger of prosecution for war crimes".
