Estonia Calls to Ban the Issuance of Schengen Visas to the Russians

The project will be ready and presented for approval by the European Union in the coming weeks

Estonian foreign minister Urmas Reinsalu on the internet for Ringvaade, announced his work on a draft ban on Schengen visas for citizens of the country, which kills Ukrainians.

"It is really curious that Russian citizens are now going massively across the western border of Russia – through Finland, Latvia, Lithuania – to visit the Louver in the summer while children are killed in Ukraine. It is, of course, morally wrong," Urmas Reinsalu.

According to the minister, the Ministry is already working on the project, and in the coming weeks, the project will be submitted for consideration before the EU Council. All EU countries should approve the project for its adoption.

Interesting facts: while some Russians rest in Europe on Schengen visas, 39.870 Russian invaders were killed in the war against Ukraine.

Glory to Ukraine!
