The Russian foreign ministry issued a statement announcing that officials, actors and others have been banned from entering Russia.
“In response to the ever-expanding personal sanctions by the G. Biden Administration against Russian citizens, against another group of persons from among members of the US Congress, high-ranking officials, representatives of the business and expert communities, as well as cultural figures (25 people), a ban on entry into the Russian Federation on a permanent basis,” the ministry stated.

He added, “It’s really wonderful. You’re my hero.”
