I russi ora hanno dieci volte meno probabilità di ricevere visti Schengen per ingressi multipli

Sounds like a feature, not a bug.

Even remaining percents are way too much. Should be 0.

I have a different idea. Europe should do the opposite – issue more immigration visas for skilled Russian workers. That way, you’re both draining the Russian state and economy of valuable people and getting skilled people who usually have no problems with integration into Europe to fill much needed job positions. For national security reasons, a clause which prohibits them from working in sensitive areas of employment should be added. It’s a win-win situation. A huge majority of smart and educated people in Russia are anti-Putin.
