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! 😡

It doesn’t merely cause harm to the people it targets, it turns them into monsters. Monsters who are willing to kill their fellow human beings for the benefit of American capital, and believe they’re doing so for a righteous cause.
