MOSCOW, 17 April, 2021 (TON): The Russian Foreign Ministry named the US attorney general, the secretary of homeland security, the FBI director and the director of national intelligence in no-entry list.
Moscow would also restrict the activities of organizations and foundations from the US, to make sure they don't interfere in the country's internal affairs, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
The move came in response to United States’ launched diplomatic and financial offensives against Russian officials and businesses on Thursday over election-meddling and Moscow-linked cyber hacks and the diplomats expelled by the U.S. include five members of the Russian intelligence services.
However, Lavrov also recommended that U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan return home for consultations in Washington, according to the Interfax news agency.
While, Moscow had earlier withdrew its ambassador, Anatoly Antonov, from Washington.
