The Russian Foreign Ministry has released a national stop list
of 963 US citizens who, as a tit-for-tat measure, are banned to
come to Russia, Trend reports citing TASS .
'In the context of retaliatory measures to the anti-Russian
sanctions continuously imposed by the United States and in response
to incoming inquiries about the individuals on our national stop
list, the Russian Foreign Ministry is publishing a list of US
citizens who are permanently barred from entering the Russian
Federation,' says the statement posted on the ministry's website on
Saturday.
A link to the list with the names of 963 individuals is attached
to the document. Among them are US President Joe Biden, Secretary
of State Antony Blinken, FBI Director Christopher Wray and other US
officials, whose entry bans have been announced by the Russian
Foreign Ministry earlier.
'We emphasize that Washington's hostile actions, which boomerang
back on the US, will continue to be responded in kind,' the Foreign
Ministry said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that the Russian
countersanctions are involuntary and are aimed at 'compelling the
ruling US regime, which is attempting to impose a neocolonial
'rule-based world order' on the rest of the world, to change its
conduct by acknowledging the new geopolitical realities.'
'Russia seeks no confrontation and remains open to honest,
mutually respectful dialogue, distinguishing the American people,
who invariably enjoy our respect, from the US authorities, who
foment Russophobia, and those who serve them. It is these
individuals who are put on Russia's 'blacklist',' the statement
concludes.
