The Russian Foreign Ministry released a list of 500 Americans that will be banned from the country in response to sanctions.
Some 500 Americans are banned from entering Russia, including current and former U.S. government officials, educators and celebrities.
Topping the list of"significant" figures in politics who won't be able to enter Russian territory are former President Barack Obama, three U.S. senators, many U.S. representatives, two former U.S. ambassadors to Russia and two former U.S. ambassadors to Ukraine.
"It is high time for Washington to learn that not a single hostile attack against Russia will be left without a strong reaction," the statement said."The principle of the inevitability of punishment will be consistently applied, whether we are talking about tougher sanctions pressure or discriminatory steps to hinder the professional activities of our fellow citizens."Tensions between Russia and the U.S. have continued to bubble amid the ongoing war with Ukraine.
Currently, an American reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Evan Gershkovich, is being held in Russia's notorious Lefortovo Prison on espionage charges — the first such arrest since 1986.
