BBC Russian journalist Ilya Barabanov branded 'foreign agent'

The Russian justice ministry has labelled two prominent journalists - BBC Russian correspondent Ilya Barabanov and science reporter Asya Kazantseva - as "foreign agents".

Barabanov has written extensively about Russia's war in Ukraine and the Wagner mercenary group. The BBC condemned the ministry's move against him.

"The BBC strongly rejects the decision," a BBC statement said.

The "foreign agent" label has very negative connotations in Russia.
