Quote: "A Visa ban for Russians will be a cold shower. War against Ukraine is supported by 76%; only 17% oppose it (the latest Levada poll). Welcoming Russians while their missiles destroy Ukrainian cities & the Kremlin launches the biggest energy crisis in decades must be stopped," Deputy Prime Minister emphasised
Details: Following the discussion on 31 August, EU Foreign Ministers decided to completely cease the agreement on the simplification of the visa regime with the Russian Federation and instructed the European Commission to consider what to do with millions of valid Russian visas.
Dmytro Kuleba, Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, positively evaluates the decision of the Ministers, as long as it is properly implemented.
