The Facebook founder was among 29 people the Kremlin barred from entering the country for allegedly fueling anti-Russian sentiment.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is no longer welcome in Russia. On Thursday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry announced it had placed Zuckerberg and 29 other individuals on a «stop list,» barring their entry into the country. The Kremlin did so in response to US sanctions on Russia, which have sought to cripple the country’s economy for invading Ukraine. Russia’s Foreign Ministry said the sanctions have already affected Russian citizens, including government officials and their families. To retaliate, the ministry is banning 29 Americans from entering Russia for allegedly sponsoring an anti-Russian agenda. The Kremlin named Zuckerberg after his company refused to comply with the country’s demands concerning content moderation amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
