Russia has banned 227 Americans, including government officials, businessmen and media representatives, from entering the country in response to US sanctions imposed over the invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has added 227 US citizens to its "stop list" , including representatives of the executive branch, business and media. They were banned from entering the territory of the Russian Federation because of their involvement in the imposition of sanctions against Russia.
