Russia announced Wednesday that it had imposed retaliatory sanctions on U.S. members of Congress in response to similar sanctions levied against more than 300 Russian lawmakers last month, The Hill reports.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a release that it was imposing “mirror” sanctions against 398 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The move is the latest in a string of reprisals from the Russian government in response to U.S. sanctions.
“These individuals, including the leadership and committee chairmen of the lower house of the U.S. Congress, are placed on the Russian ‘stop list’ on a permanent basis,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in the release.

Feeble regime with nuclear taunting. How this is any different than North Korea is deadly.
Just me but Russia is crossing badly the feelings I have about staying alive in 2022. Badly, we face an enemy no one saw coming as fast.
