Foreign Ministry statement regarding personal sanctions on a number of US citizens

In response to the Biden administration’s Russophobic policy with a stated goal of “inflicting a strategic defeat on Moscow,” which includes blanket sanctions on Russian politicians, business leaders, researchers, cultural figures, journalists, and media outlets, entry into the Russian Federation shall be permanently denied to 92 US citizens.

In addition to senior executives and officials of various levels from law enforcement agencies and special services, heads of key defence companies and financial institutions which supply weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and sponsor the Kiev regime, the stop list also includes employees of editorial offices and reporters from leading liberal globalist media outlets involved in manufacturing and spreading fake claims about Russia and its armed forces, and engaged in using propaganda to cover Washington’s hybrid war.

We remind the current US authorities of the inevitability of punishment for the hostile actions, be they providing direct encouragement to Vladimir Zelensky and his proxies to commit acts of aggression and terrorist attacks or attempts to interfere in the domestic affairs of the Russian Federation. We are resolved to act consistently with regard to including more individuals who are involved in anti-Russia activities on the list of persons who are denied entry to the Russian Federation in response to the outlandish sanction frenzy that the US ruling elite have worked themselves into.
