Russia bans entry to 200 US residents along with Joe Biden's siblings | World Info

Russia said on Friday it had banned entry to 200 US residents, along with President Joe Biden’s siblings and quite a few different senators, in response to Washington’s sanctions over the Kremlin’s offensive in Ukraine.

The abroad ministry said the 200 US nationals included officers and legislators, their shut members of the family, heads of companies and specialists “involved inside the promotion of the Russophobic advertising and marketing marketing campaign and help for the regime in Kyiv”.

Amongst these listed are Biden’s sister Valerie and brothers James and Francis, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, along with US senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

US creator and Russia expert Anne Applebaum, Matthew Kaminski, editor-in-chief of Politico, and Paul Pelosi, husband of US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have moreover been blacklisted.

Western capitals — along with Washington — have slapped Russia with a slew of unprecedented sanctions over its offensive in pro-Western Ukraine.

In retaliation, Russia has already barred over 1,000 US residents from coming into the nation, along with Hollywood actors Ben Stiller and Sean Penn.
