"Putin's War": Scholz doubted the possibility of banning visas to Russians

The European Union has taken many measures and sanctions against those who "support power structures in Russia", including against Russian oligarchs, the politician said. German Chancellor Olaf Scholtz said he doubted the idea of ​​banning visas to Russian citizens. According to him, the responsibility for the invasion of Ukraine is the leader of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin. He reported this at a summer press conference, according to the German edition of Merkur. "This is Putin's war.

And so it's hard for me to approve this idea," the politician said. According to Chancellor, the European Union has taken many measures and sanctions against those who "support power structures in Russia", including against Russian oligarchs. "We have imposed very far -reaching sanctions that touch the oligarchs. If we will guide their sanctions against all, including the innocent, it is more likely to weaken the measures taken," Scholt added.

We will remind, on August 10 it became known that the EU discusses the introduction of a ban on the issuance of Schengen visas to the Russians. The German government said that the issue of closing the Schengen zone for Russian citizens for discussion was issued by several EU countries. In addition, on August 11, Latvia recognized Russia with a terrorism.
