In Germany's opposition, they urged to limit the issuance of visas to the Russians

Representatives of the Opposition Bloc of Germany with the CDU/CSU called for termination of visas to the Russians through the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The deputy chairman of the CDU/CDS Parliamentary Group Andrea Lindholtz said this in an interview with Bild, DW writes. “Visas to the Russians for vacations must be canceled. It's about giving a clear signal to the Russian population, ”she said.

Video of Lindholtz Day added that the federal government should not "oppose European partners. " The MP of the European Parliament, a member of the CDU Dennis Radtke, saying the ban on the issuance of visas to the Russians stated that it was "not only Putin's war. " “It is unbearable that the Russians are resting in Europe and spending their money as if nothing had happened.

Anyone who wants to stop Putin should not reduce the pressure, but increase it by banning tourist visas for the Russians, ”he summarized. In an interview with The Washington Post, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that a visa ban for Russian citizens could be one of the most effective measures against Russia. The idea of ​​a complete ban on entry into Western countries for the Russians is finding more supporters: except Ukraine, such calls are voicing European neighbors of Russia.

Many of them have already closed the borders for Russian citizens. On August 8, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said he intends to limit the rides of the Russians to Finland and other EU countries. Before that, the Latvian Embassy in Russia stopped the issuance of visas to the Russians indefinitely. Estonia has made a decision from August 18 to prohibit entry into its territory to Russian citizens who have Schengen visas issued by this country.
