Russia called the attack “special military operation” for demilitarization and “immersed” Ukraine. Kyiv and his Western allies refused it as a fake excuse for the illegal aggression war.
Russia on Thursday slapped a travel ban on US Vice President Kamala Harris and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg in response to the sanctions imposed on the “military operation” of Kremlin in Ukraine. The travel ban also includes 27 other leading Americans, reporting the AFP news agency. The Russian Foreign Ministry said the travel ban – which includes high -ranking Pentagon officials, US business leaders, and journalists – will remain “Abadi”.
Among other things, the US list includes ABC News Television Presenter George Stephanopoulos, Post Washington Columnist David Ignatius, and Meduza news site editor focused on Russia Kevin Rothrock. US defense officials including Pentagon spokesman John Kirby and Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks also have features on the list, AFP added.
Russia previously banned Facebook and Instagram – part of Meta Empire Zuckerberg -, calling them “extremist” organizations.
Russia also crashed into 61 Canadians – including several officials and journalists – with a ban on “unlimited” travel. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the list included those who were “directly involved in the development, proof and implementation of the ruling russophobic ruling courses in Canada”.
The ban on Russia’s travel came after various countries including the United States, the European Union forced new sanctions to prevent Moscow from its war in Ukraine, which entered the 57th day on Thursday.
Britain on Thursday set 26 new sanctions targeting Russian military generals responsible for what is called cruelty in Ukraine, as well as individuals and businesses that support the Russian armed forces. “The current wave of sanctions is about generals and defense companies that have blood in their hands,” Foreign Minister Liz Truss said in a statement
Russia earlier this week announced the second phase of the war in East Ukraine with “Donbas battles” after failing to capture the capital of Kyiv and forced to withdraw from the north.
