MOSCOW: In the midst of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Russian Foreign Ministry has produced a list of US officials, including IT titans, who are now barred from entering the country indefinitely.

According to TechCrunch, the list includes high-profile US politicians such as Vice President Kamala Harris, tech titans such as Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky, journalists, and others who are promoting a "Russophobic" agenda.

The announcement follows Russia's actions to shut down or restrict access to various Western sites that do not comply with its information dissemination standards, specifically to curb pro-Russian messages.

Snapping access to Facebook and Instagram, limiting access to Google News, and delivering YouTube warnings have all been part of these shutdowns.  Meanwhile, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and a slew of other tech behemoths have halted or suspended operations in Russia.

Brian Thomas Moynihan, Chairman and CEO of Bank of America, and George Stephanopoulos, anchor of the ABC television network, are among the others on the list. According to The Moscow Times, the United States and the European Union have sanctioned certain Russians directly, including President Vladimir Putin, his children, and oligarchs viewed as critical to the Russian leader's influence.
