Russia Bans 92 More U.S. Citizens, Total Over 2,000

Russia's Foreign Ministry has announced a ban on 92 additional U.S. citizens, including journalists from major outlets like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, as well as academics, government officials, and corporate executives. This move is in response to what Moscow describes as the Biden administration's 'Russophobic course' aimed at strategically defeating Russia, which includes sweeping sanctions against Russian figures. The list features notable individuals such as WSJ Editor-in-Chief Emma Tucker and former Moscow bureau chief Nathan Hodge. Russia's Foreign Ministry has accused these individuals of spreading false information and engaging in propaganda against Russia. This brings the total number of Americans banned from Russia to over 2,000. The U.S. State Department has yet to respond to the new sanctions.
