Apart from other relatives of US President Joe Biden, his press secretary Karen Jean-Pierre is also among those affected by the ban.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia says that these sanctions are a response to the sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States. The United States imposed these sanctions on Russia in the context of the Ukraine war.
It should be noted that the war between Russia and Ukraine has been completed for 8 months and during this time, Russia has forcibly annexed four Ukrainian regions into its state, which Western countries have reacted strongly to.
