Another 500 US citizens, including a former Ukrainian minister, were also banned.
Russia “permanently” banned 500 US citizens from entering its territory, including former President Barack Obama and former Ukrainian finance minister Natalia Jaresko (2014-16). This is stated in the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry .
The ban on entry to Russia of 500 Americans is introduced in response to Washington’s regularly imposed anti-Russian sanctions. It is noted that the “stop list” includes both simply “significant” figures, as well as current and former officials, senators, congressmen, experts who, according to Moscow, are involved in the “spread of Russophobic attitudes and fakes.” The list also includes the heads of arms companies that help Ukraine with weapons.
In addition, the Russian Foreign Ministry decided to ban American law enforcement officers from entering Russia who are “involved in the persecution of dissidents in the wake of the so-called ‘storming of the Capitol’.”
“It is high time for Washington to learn that not a single hostile attack against Russia will go unpunished. The principle of the inevitability of punishment will be consistently applied, whether it comes to toughening sanctions pressure or discriminatory steps to hinder the professional activities of our fellow citizens,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said. .
US sanctions against Russia
Today it became known that the United States, as part of a new anti-Russian sanctions package, imposed restrictions on 300 companies, ships and aircraft. Export restrictions have also been imposed on about 70 companies from Russia and third countries.
In addition, in April, the United States introduced a separate package of sanctions against those involved in the illegal detention of American citizens. This package concerned both Iran and Russia. The latter recently arrested American journalist Evan Gershkovich.

Barack Obama did everything not to be placed on that list………………………………….hahahahahahahahahaha.
“involved in the persecution of dissidents in the wake of the so-called ‘storming of the Capitol’.”
Does anyone think this comment is particularly outstanding?
In case anyone still has any doubts about the true intention of some people on this dark day of January 6…
Missing more than “hang Mike Pence” at the bottom of the Orc ban 🙂
They want to divide America, they will never succeed!
This ban by russia is equivalent to saying we are banning US citizens from visiting Pluto.
Being banned by mafia land is a badge of honor. I bet a million dollars that the trumpet is not on the list or ever will be.
“Yet like many of Trump’s successes, it received minimal mainstream media coverage.”

Sssshhh, don’t show Sir Scradge, bert or Honestly…. 😉
This is what confuses me about the trumpet, Red. On the one hand, he was tougher than Obama, sure, but on the other, he speaks about this war as if it was something great, putin is great, he’s a genius. What the hell is wrong with the orange baboon??? And, being tougher than Obumer is like being tougher than cotton candy. Is this so much better?
Drugs… 😂
I think you hit the nail on the head, Mike!
His positions are not very clear but that’s a common trait with politicians. It makes everything even muddier when there are those that are full of hatred for the pro-American and especially foreigners. I think the jury is still out on him and that’s sad too. He should be clear. But knowing Trump he usually has NO problem professing dislike when he has it and I haven’t seen that with him, just the childish tendency to be a shock jock and tease the media for attention. We will see. That is a real list in that article and how much honest news did it make from the corporate media? Zilch, they are only allowed to criticize Trump, not make accurate balanced reports.
I never trust anyone who is being murky about his or her intentions, especially politicians. This has nothing to do about a military operation, where hush-hush is expected, this is a policy of a potential future POTUS. I would never vote for Trump again, just because of his behavior regarding the little clown or any other autocrat/dicktator. It gives me shivers to think about Roosevelt having been buddies with Adolf Hitler and calling his invasion of Poland and France genius.
“Jen Kerns has served as a GOP strategist and writer for the U.S. presidential debates for FOX News. She previously served as communications director and spokeswoman for the California Republican Party, the Colorado recalls over gun control, and the Prop. 8 battle over marriage which went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.”
Seems like an arsegiver to me.
Do you have her phone number by any chance?
Fuck you, Bert! 😎
Their Obama ban is rather strange. Without Obama, Putin would not have Crimea or the part of the Donbas it has occupied. Obama has been a very good friend to Putinazi Russia.
Amen.
I think what is more revealing is who are absent.
Also I expected Bryan Whitmore to be on the list.
