Inside Story - Russia: inflaming frayed EU relations?

A leaked list has identified 89 European officials barred by the Kremlin from entering Russia.

It is seen by the EU as an attempt to single out Europeans regarded as being hostile towards Moscow.

Russia has not officially confirmed the reason - or the names, but the release happened as EU members are due to review sanctions against Russia for its role in the crisis in Ukraine.

The EU says the measures are "unjustified and arbitrary".

Grandstanding and public relations - or a serious deterioration in already strained relations?
