According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, in response to the personal sanctions that the US administration has repeatedly imposed on Russian officials, representatives of the business community, cultural figures and Russian citizens, 200 US citizens have been added to the sanctions list.

The sanctions list includes representatives of the government and lawmakers, as well as their close associates, heads of companies and enterprises of the military-industrial complex, experts and lobbyists involved in promoting the “anti-Russian” campaign and supporting the Ukrainian authorities.

Notably, the sanctions list this time includes the US Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of Agriculture.

As of November 11, Russia has imposed personal sanctions on more than 1,000 US citizens, in the form of entry bans to Russia, including top US officials such as the President, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Finance, etc.

After Russia carried out a special military operation in Ukraine, the US imposed very strong sanctions on both legal entities and individuals of the Russian Federation, causing the country to take retaliatory measures./.
