The Russian aggressive war against Ukraine has lasted for five years. It is not right for Russians to be able to travel to Europe and enjoy its way of life and freedoms while their country is bombing the homes of Ukrainians, said Valtonen. As long as Russia continues its invasion, tourist visas should not be issued to Russian citizens, she added. Valtonen reminded that Finland prohibited the issuance of visas to Russians for trips that are "not essential" by government resolution back in 2022. #Rusko #Ukraina #VízovýZákaz (translated)
