text: "Foreign Affairs Minister Freeland rejects Russian offer to lift travel ban". 
  
  What a glorious headline.  If you try and trace it to the sources - there was no "offer", and so there was nothing to "reject". 
  
  Russian media asked unnamed Russian official for a  comment as it seems to be the first time in world's history that a Foreign minister is banned entry to another country. The source explained that Russia did not start all this and so can not technically move first, but that they are always ready to cooperate.
  
  Freeland responded that it is important to engage.
