Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman is among almost 1,000 US citizens permanently banned from entering Russia, the Independent reports.
Russia's foreign ministry on Saturday released a list of 963 American citizens who are barred from travelling to the country over their support of US-imposed “anti-Russian sanctions” following the invasion of Ukraine. US president Joe Biden, vice president Kamala Harris, journalists, Freeman and fellow film-maker Rob Reiner are all named on the so-called "stop list".
The ministry said: “In the context of response to the constantly imposed anti-Russian sanctions by the United States and in connection with incoming requests about the personal composition of our national ‘stop list’, the Russian Foreign Ministry publishes a list of American citizens who are permanently banned from entering the Russian Federation.”
