European politicians, who have reportedly been banned from entering Russia, has criticized the country on Saturday, saying they are proud of being included to the blacklist.The 89-strong list, formerly undisclosed but revealed to European diplomats on Thursday, includes past and serving parliamentarians and ministers who have been outspoken critics of President Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine."The list with 89 names has now been shared by the Russian authorities," a spokesperson for EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Saturday, adding, "We don't have any other information on legal basis, criteria and process of this decision.""We consider this measure as totally arbitrary and unjustified, especially in the absence of any further clarification and transparency," the spokesperson said in a statement.German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the list would not help with efforts to defuse the "stubborn, dangerous conflict" in eastern Ukraine, during a visit to the region."I don't think it is particularly clever to even pronounce such entry bans," Steinmeier said in the eastern city of Dnipropetrovsk.Germany has demanded further clarification from Moscow, the foreign ministry said in Berlin, adding that people on the list had a right to know why they have been included so they can take appropriate legal action.The Ukraine crisis has brought relations between the European Union and Russia to their lowest point since the end of the Cold War.The EU has imposed sanctions, including asset freezes and travel bans on 151 Russians and Ukrainians, over Moscow's annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula and alleged support of pro-Moscow separatists.The authenticity of the leaked document could not immediately be confirmed. Moscow has not commented on the release of the blacklist.
