L’Estonia vieta l’ingresso a 261 cittadini russi che hanno combattuto nella guerra in Ucraina

The Ministry of the Interior imposed an entry ban to Estonia last week on 261 russian combatants who had taken part in the war of aggression against Ukraine.

Interior Minister Igor Taro (Eesti 200) said the bans are unavoidable, as those who have committed atrocities in Ukraine in the name of Vladimir Putin have no place in a free and democratic world.

“There is no doubt that these are individuals with a hostile attitude toward Europe. They have combat experience and military training. They often also have a potential prior criminal background. In addition, they have been psychologically traumatized. The threat posed by them is not just abstract. It includes both the possible conducting of tasks for russian special services and participation in organized crime,” Taro said.

Joosep Kaasik, undersecretary for internal security at the ministry, added that the bans are only the first, with more to follow.

I really wonder what these people even expected…

If only we could just ban Russian citizens altogether.
