Ukraine: Sean Penn and Ben Stiller were banned from entering Russia

After the US imposed sanctions against it, Russia decided to expel 25 American individuals from its territory. Among these dignitaries, representatives of the business community, experts, academics and cultural figures are actors and directors Ben Stiller and Sean Penn (who played a role in Walter Mitt’s Dream Life).

Last February, Sean Penn traveled to the heart of the conflict in Ukraine to film a documentary about the Russian invasion and to speak with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

In turn, Ben Stiller went to Poland in June last year to visit Ukrainian refugees as part of the representation of the United Nations Refugee Agency. Then he went to Kyiv to meet with the President of Ukraine.

Then Ben Stiller said:I was really impressed by the resilience of the Ukrainian people and the president. His incredible sense of how he rose to that moment and offered his people leadership and true determination to overcome this dire situation..”

The statement published on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia states that these sanctions have been accepted.In response to increasing sanctions against Russian citizens by the Joe Biden administration.

The hostile actions of the US authorities, which continue the Russophobic trend, thereby destroying bilateral ties and intensifying the confrontation between Russia and the United States, will continue to be strongly opposed.
