EU proposes entry ban on Russians who fought in Ukraine

Anyone who has fought on Russia’s side in the war against Ukraine will be barred from entering European Union countries under the organization’s just-announced 21st sanctions package against Moscow.

Axar.az reports, citing The Washington Times, the proposal was announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The latest round of EU sanctions primarily focuses on Russia’s energy, financial services and crypto markets, but also hits some 1.5 million Russian military veterans.

“We propose to ban from entry into the EU anyone who has served in the Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war. So Europe stays off limits for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine. As simple as that,” Ms. von der Leyen said Monday.
