The Russian government includes Biden's wife and one of his daughters on its Russian entry ban list

MADRID, 28 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Russian government has included 25 Americans on its sanctions list on Tuesday, including several relatives of the president of the United States, Joe Biden, including the first lady, Jill Biden, and one of his daughters, Ashley Biden.

The Russian Foreign Ministry has said in a statement on its website that the measure comes "in response to the expanding sanctions by the United States against political and public figures in Russia", before adding that among those sanctioned are "senators responsible for the formation of a Russophobic course".

The sanctions imply a prohibition of entry to the country to the affected people. In total, the Russian authorities have included 1,048 US citizens on their entry ban list, as tensions rise over the invasion of Ukraine.
