Russia's Foreign Ministry has recently expanded its list of Americans banned from entering the country, adding 92 individuals to the roster. The ban encompasses a diverse group of people, including journalists, law enforcement officials, academics, and business figures.
The Foreign Ministry cited the Biden administration's perceived 'Russophobic course' as the reason behind the ban, accusing the U.S. of seeking to 'inflict a strategic defeat on Moscow.' Specifically, the ministry pointed to the banned journalists as representatives of 'leading liberal-globalist publications' that allegedly produce and spread misinformation, or 'fakes,' about Russia and its armed forces.
