Russia Bans Entry of 963 Americans Including Biden and Blinken

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Russia announced that it will ban the entry of 963 Americans, including U.S. President Joe Biden, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and CIA Director William Burns.

On the 21st (local time), major foreign media reported this, explaining that this travel ban is a symbolic measure that does not pose a substantial threat. However, it was noted that it reflects the continued deterioration of relations between Russia and the U.S. and its allies, which have been on a downward trend since Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
