U.S. Travelers in Transit Through Russia to Need Visas From May 6

Russia is to introduce a visa requirement for U.S. citizens traveling through its territory in transit to other countries as of May 6, the foreign ministry announced Saturday.

Officials quoted by the Interfax news agency said the measure had been taken in reprisal for a similar requirement for Russian citizens introduced by the United States on April 6.

Foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko said earlier this month that Russia "cannot understand the reasons for introducing these new rules."

Relations between Russia and the United States have worsened sharply in recent months.
