At the moment, Russia's sanctions against US Secretary of State Marco Rubio have not been lifted, and media reports about this are fake, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova told TASS.
„The sanctions have not been lifted at the moment. „This is fake“, the diplomat said.
Earlier, publications appeared on social media claiming that Russia had allegedly lifted sanctions against Rubio after the Secretary of State spoke with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Rubio was added to the list of US citizens subject to personal sanctions, including a ban on entering the Russian Federation, in May 2022.
