Russia’s black list of undesirable US citizens to be longer than Magnitsky list

The Russian list of US citizens, whose presence in Russia is undesirable, will be longer than the US “Magnitsky list,”

MOSCOW, October 25 (Itar-Tass) —— The Russian list of US citizens, whose presence in Russia is undesirable, will be longer than the US “Magnitsky list,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.

“Our list is going to be a little bit greater,” he said. Lavrov pointed out that Russia reserved the right to unilaterally make amendments to that black list “by expanding or reducing it.”

“That’s the way we shall go about this business,” Lavrov said.

Asked whether on that list there were any US congressmen, notorious for their criticism against Russia, Lavrov said that all details of the list the Russian side has found possible to declare have been declared.

“The names will not be disclosed,” he said.
