I russi stanno ancora viaggiando per l’Europa nonostante le sanzioni. Non tutti ne sono felici

Especially russian mafiosi and pimps and russian prostitutes who deepthroat guys in hostels. They are lot of them here.

Europe will regret letting the russians into their countries. Dozens of Kremlin spies flood into Europe along with ordinary russians fleeing Putin’s nazi regime. This tumor will be difficult to cut out later.

Even people from Israel, but none in Europe has condemned that.

Adding: we also have European leaders welcoming Netanyahu and therefore going against the ICC, while supporting the ICC when it’s about Putin.

Whatever way you look at it, there’s no justification to that. Israel is also aiming to expand and recreate the grand israel.

Big shout out to Ireland for having done what Europe should have done as an institution.

The [visa refusal rate for Russians ](https://www.statewatch.org/media/4597/eu-council-schengen-barometer-report-13507-24.pdf)diverges strongly among member states — from 1% to 65% in the first half of 2024, according to an EU report.

Interesting to see, who is who there. I suppose France, Italy, Spain, Greece and Cyprus are probably on the higher side, while Baltics, Nordics + Poland on the lower.

Russians should have a choice. They remain russian citizens and accept getting banned from Europe at least while the war lasts. Or they start the process of acquiring the citizenship of their family members or refuge countries and renounce russian ones when they become citizens from residents.

Let them travel. It‘s good for the Economies also of the baltic countries. They need tourists.

Turkey is full of them. You usually identify them when you stand in a queue – they will just pass everyone and demand their drinks. The Service people are doing a great job in ignoring them until its their turn. I never thought they would actually behave like animals.
