Recall that Volodymyr Zelenskyy has recently stated that EU countries should review their visa policy and impose restrictions on Russians, since state terror manuals should not use Schengen so as not to destroy the idea of ​​integrity and values ​​of Europe. The President's opinion is divided by the Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba.

According to the minister, the vast majority of Russians support the war in Ukraine, and therefore they must be deprived of the right to cross international borders until they learn to respect them.
