EU member states push for Russian visa ban

The Prime Ministers of Estonia and Finland, respectively Kaja Kallas and Sanna Marin, have both called for the EU to end the granting of visas to Russian tourists, as has Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkēvičs.

Kallas stated that visiting the EU was ‘a privilege, not a human right’ and that it was ‘time to end tourism from Russia. Stop issuing tourist visas to Russians’.

The demands echo those of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who called on Western countries to ban all Russian citizens from their lands in response to their government’s annexation of Ukrainian territory during an interview with the Washington Post on Monday 8 August.

Next, they’ll put Russians in internment camps! 😡

‘Western’ Conflict Reporting Has Come Down To “Officials On Our Side Said …”

Larry Johnson is rightfully appalled by a New York Times piece that quotes a lot from ‘officials’ but fails to check any of their obviously false claims:

“I never cease to be amazed by the utter failure of journalists to assemble facts. I think it boils down to laziness. Why should you do any independent research or thinking that requires you to go to the front lines when you can gobble up and regurgitate pre-packaged talking points? You get paid the same and hell, you might even get a Pulitzer if you are the most enthusiastic purveyor of regime bullshit.”

Will Canadian media report on Ukraine’s kill list (which [Eva Bartlett is] on)? Will government Canada–so concerned about journalists’ safety–condemn it?

Of course those are rhetorical questions. I know Canada’s corporate-funded & owned media will never show integrity, much less report honestly, much less not whitewash the crimes of Ukraine against the people of the Donbass and also Ukrainian people themselves. Journalists of Maverick media, however, were kind enough to reach out to me for an honest interview, expressing shock and concern that Ukraine has such a kill list and that I’m on it.
