Russia on Wednesday, August 28 barred a number of journalists from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, as well as dozens of other Americans, from entering the country.
In a statement posted online, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it had permanently barred 92 U.S. citizens in response to the Biden administration’s “Russophobic course,” including its sweeping sanctions. In addition to the journalists, the list of those barred included lawyers, security agency officials, lawmakers, university professors and business executives.
