Russian Foreign Ministry: Washington's hostile actions boomerang on the United States itself

“We emphasize that the hostile actions taken by Washington, which boomerang on the United States itself, will continue to receive a proper rebuff,” the Foreign Ministry noted. 

The Foreign Ministry said that counter-sanctions are forced.

These measures are aimed at forcing the “ruling American regime”, which is trying to “impose a neo-colonial “rules-based world order” on the rest of the world”, to change its behavior and recognize new geopolitical realities.

The Russian Foreign Ministry also published a list of names of 963 US citizens who are banned from entering Russia on a permanent basis.
