Kulbergs Makes a Blunt Appeal

Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs has pushed for a complete stop on tourist visas for Russian citizens. He shared this view in an interview with the Financial Times.

“Don’t let the damn Russians travel to Europe,” he said.

Politico Points to a Wider EU Crackdown

Politico reported on Monday that the European Union could soon tighten its visa rules further. The new limits may hit tourists, former combatants, and diplomats alike.

Moscow Warns It Will Respond

Russia has repeatedly slammed restrictions aimed at its citizens based purely on nationality. Moscow has also criticized politically driven curbs on its diplomatic missions abroad. Officials say Russia will answer unfriendly steps on a reciprocal basis.
