U.S. - Russian relations have been at a low point recently. U.S. Deputy Secretary of state for political affairs Newland arrived in Russia on the 11th and declared that the main topic of this time is to establish stable and predictable U.S. - Russian relations.

However, the process of Newland's visit was not smooth. As early as September 27, the US State Department disclosed to the outside world that Newland was about to visit Russia. However, Russia has not removed Newland from the sanctions blacklist until the last moment before her departure.
Russian presidential press secretary Peskov said on the 11th that Russian President Vladimir Putin had no arrangement to meet with US Deputy Secretary of state Newland, and Russian Presidential Assistant Ushakov would meet with Newland.
Russian Foreign Ministry: the United States lifted sanctions against Russian citizens in exchange for Newland's visit to Russia
Newland was still banned from entering Russia as of the 10th, Russia today website reported.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman zaharova confirmed on the 10th that the United States removed a Russian citizen from the sanctions list in exchange for Russia's consent to Newland's visit to Russia.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman zaharova: Newland is indeed on the Russian sanctions list, which means she could not enter the country.
In recent years, Russia US relations have been declining. The United States has included many Russian citizens, including a number of Russian officials, in the sanctions list. As a counter measure, Russia has also formulated a sanctions list against American officials.
Newland has repeatedly been blacklisted for "anti Russia"
Why was Newland blacklisted by Russia and why was her visit so unpopular?
Newland served as US ambassador to NATO and assistant secretary of state for Eurasian Affairs during the Obama administration. During the "Color Revolution" in Ukraine in 2014, she played a role behind the scenes. She promised Ukraine billions of dollars in loan guarantee projects and military assistance, and visited Kiev. She was also photographed distributing cookies to rioters in Kiev square.

In addition, in 2014, when the US ambassador to Ukraine, Ambassador Yate, was exposed, two people discussed the support of the Ukraine opposition to form a new government. Newland also complained that the EU was "suck" in the process of mediating Ukraine's political crisis and criticized the EU.
Ukraine is Russia's barrier against NATO's eastward expansion. Ukraine's foreign policy is closely related to Russia's national security interests and development strategy. Newland's intention to support the coup in Ukraine is self-evident.
In addition, Newland has arrogantly slandered the Russian media, claiming that the Russian media reported false news.
For what Newland has done, some netizens expressed dissatisfaction with her visit to Russia.
"This man is Russia's evil enemy."
"This is another sign of the deterioration of the United States. Newland is actually the best candidate sent by the United States. She has no credibility. No one should take her seriously. She is a joke and is wasting Russia's time."
Some netizens called the "anti Russian" U.S. Deputy Secretary of state "female version of Peng PEO".
