Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton banned from entering Russia by Kremlin
Russia has issued sanctions against a series of high-profile Americans, including Joe Biden and other administration figures.
The "stop list" would prevent them from entering Russia.
The list includes Mr Biden himself, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley.

Also on the list was White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who had a wry response to being included.
"It won't surprise any of you that none of us are planning tourist trips to Russia, none of us have bank accounts that we won't be able to access, so we will forge ahead," Ms Psaki said.
She also noted that the official sanctions did not list Mr Biden's name correctly.

"President Biden is a 'Junior,'" she said.
"They may have sanctioned his dad, may he rest in peace."
Joseph R. Biden Sr died in 2002.
Two private citizens are also included on the sanctions list.
One of them, Mr Biden's son Hunter, served as a board member of a Ukrainian energy company.
The second is Hillary Clinton, who was previously a sharp critic of the Kremlin during her time as Secretary of State.

Her response to being sanctioned was characteristically droll.
