“One by one, the countries of the European Union refuse to issue visas to Russians. And this does not require long discussions and extensive discussions. Latvia, Estonia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Belgium — these countries do not hesitate to introduce restrictions and show the Russians that they are not welcome in Europe,” Stefanchuk said.
According to him, everyone finally understood that living in a civilized world and promoting war are incompatible things.
He said that at the end of August, the heads of foreign affairs of the EU countries should meet and discuss the issue of banning visas for Russians at the European level.
“I predict that this will be the shortest discussion and unanimous approval”, – stressed the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada.
