BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A German member of the European Parliament said on Friday she had been barred from entering Russia when she tried to attend a court hearing there for a Ukrainian woman army officer.

Rebecca Harms, co-chair of the Greens group in the parliament, said she believed she was on a secret Russian blacklist that could contain the names of other politicians who had supported sanctions against Moscow over Ukraine.
