The wife and daughter of President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden and Ashley Biden, were sanctioned as part of a cohort of Americans Moscow said is promoting an anti-Russian agenda.

Moscow said the new sanctions are a direct response to the “ever-expanding” U.S. sanctions against Russian figures.

Those included will be barred indefinitely from entering Russian territory, the country’s foreign ministry said.

A host of high-profile politicians have also been targeted, including McConnell, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Benjamin Sass (R-Neb.), Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.).

The list also includes a string of academics, researchers and former officials, including Stanford professors Francis Fukuyama and Larry Diamond, Morgan Stanley’s head of European economics Jacob Nell and David Kramer, former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor under George W. Bush.

Moscow’s announcement comes as Group of Seven leaders finalize commitments towards another wave of sanctions against Russia over the invasion as well as a support package for Ukraine. On Monday, the U.S. ປະ​ກາດ higher tariffs on Russian goods, restrictions on gold exports and sanctions on a series of individuals and organizations supporting the war effort. These complement an already sweeping set of sanctions from the U.S. and other nations targeting large swathes of the Russian economy, Russian President Vladimir Putin, his ຄອບຄົວ and inner circle, and wealthy Russian elites. G-7 leaders are also in the process of negotiating a ລາຄາ on Russian oil, a measure that cut off one of Putin’s most vital revenue streams while addressing spiraling energy prices caused by the war.
