Russian Sanctions: Honored or Hated?

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger thanked Russia for including him on a list of 500 Americans who are now banned from entering their country for allegedly spreading "Russophobia." Raffensperger, the state's top election official who rejected then-President Donald Trump's repeated entreaties to overturn now-President Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Georgia, roundly mocked his inclusion on the list. The action comes as Russia continues to retaliate against a raft of Western countries over sanctions that have been imposed since the country first invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
