Piers Morgan's brilliant reaction as he and Sun war reporter Jerome Starkey are BANNED by Russia over Putin invasion | The Sun

PIERS Morgan has been blacklisted by Vladimir Putin and BANNED from entering Russia.

The Sun's no-nonsense columnist was featured on the latest list of banned individuals – along with our defence editor and war reporter Jerome Starkey.

Piers – who last week featured a series of hard hitting world exclusive interviews and reports from Ukraine on his show Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV – took the ban in good humour.

"It wasn’t on my immediate vacation to-do list," he tweeted to his 8million followers on Twitter.

Jerome has been working on the frontline reporting on the horrors of Putin's vicious war in Ukraine since the start of the conflict in February.

Russia is becoming increasingly isolated on the world stage, while Britain has been leading the way in supporting Ukraine.

Britain has been providing key support to Ukraine during the war, sending weapons, support, and taking in refugees.

More than 100,000 Ukrainians have now been settled in the UK as Brits have opened their hearts to them.

And key weapons such as artillery guns and drones have been provided to Ukraine's forces to help them mount a valiant defence against Putin.

Russia's war has grinded on for more than six months now, despite mad tyrant Vlad and his generals being confidant of taking Kyiv in just hours.

Putin instead has run a disastrous campaign which has seen his forces bogged down and pushed back – losing tens of thousands of troops and millions of pounds worth of vehicles and weapons.

Moscow has instead turned to vicious attacks of civilians and has been widely accused of committing war crimes – with reports last week of a Ukrainian soldier being castrated by the Russians.
