The Ministry’s statement clarified that the blacklist was formed in response to constantly imposed anti-Russian sanctions by the US.

Also listed are Secretary of State Antony Blinken, CIA chief William Burns, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and previously announced names such as Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.

The statement added that Russia seeks no confrontation and remains open to honest, mutually respectful dialogue, distinguishing the American people from the US authorities that foment Russophobia and those who serve them.
