Russia Bans Biden, Harris, And Clinton (But Not Trump)

The Washington Post reports:

Russia is permanently banning nearly 1,000 Americans, including President Biden and Vice President Harris, from entering the country in response to the United States’ support of Ukraine and the historic sanctions facing Moscow nearly three months into its invasion.
