The Russian government on Monday shared an official list of countries and foreign states it's declared as having committed "unfriendly actions" against "Russia, Russian companies, and citizens," reports the Jerusalem Post and Newsweek.

Quite ironically, the Kremlin also listed Ukraine — the target of an ongoing Russian-led offensive — on its list.
