Grecia, Spagna, Italia, Francia e Ungheria hanno bloccato le restrizioni sui visti per i cittadini russi

Shameful

Isolating russian citizens is not going to end the war, it will help Putin indoctrinate them even more

I mean, France :)) … wow. I get the rest of the bunch, but France is a bit of a surprise tbh.

Greece probably just wants the tourist money, i’m surprised Cyprus wasn’t part of it.

Is this the same Spain and France who are ready to kick out every jew/israeli from their country?

What the fuck is wrong with these countries?

Seeing people on Reddit say all Russians should be banned from ever entering the EU or deported is wild. Trapping them inside only strengthens the regime and its propaganda. And the blatant xenophobia calling ordinary people “animals” doesn’t help btw

I have distant relatives and friends living there. Trust me, a HUGE chunk of the youth is against the regime. But it’s not so easy to overthrow a dictator and risk your family being put in the gulag is it?

So these countries want war criminals roaming about?

Money makes the world go round, the world go round. Cabaret.

If we don’t have the balls to ban russian tourists outright, let’s make the visa 500 euros per person and then officially state that all the money collected will go straight to military support for Ukraine. At least something good will come of it then.

But but but doesn’t Europe have an “overtourism” problem? Solved, so welcome, Russkies.

Pathetic

That’s how they fight; until the war comes to Europe, no one will wake up.

And in one month time, we will read how there are russian operatives in europe yada yada yada

As a Russian emigrant living in Serbia I’m really glad to hear it. We left the country in early 2022 because of shame and desire to stop paying taxes there. We got Schengen visas twice this year: once for driving to Georgia via Bulgaria and another time to visit our friends in Munich. Before this year I’ve never been to the EU. We’re pro western and pro EU and against the aggression our country is waging against the neighboring nation. Banning visas would totally make us much less pro EU.

Good

*In the summer of 2024, a series of break-ins occurred at water supply plants and towers in Finland, raising concerns about security, though the National Emergency Supply Agency (NESA) stated there was no immediate impact on the security of supply. While the incidents did not involve theft or overt vandalism, their coordinated nature led to speculation they were part of a “gray-zone aggression” strategy by Russia to destabilize the country and create public anxiety. Authorities have increased cooperation and vigilance to protect critical infrastructure.* 

*The intruders did not steal anything or cause significant damage, suggesting a purpose beyond traditional criminal acts.* 

*Experts and commentators suggested these actions could be part of a broader Russian strategy to create fear and destabilize Western nations through non-military means*

*The widespread and organized nature of these incursions, along with the lack of traditional motives, pointed to a planned and coordinated campaign, not random acts by criminals.* 

Have fun with your tourists. Water is safe.

You know why? Know why? Money! That’s why.

It would be utterly hypocritical to ban visas but continue buying Russian gas and oil. At least the money from tourists stays in the EU.

EU will die because its not convnient to resist.

“I’ve been looking into it and it seems the information was published yesterday by the Greek outlet ProNews, but I see that Reuters, AFP, AP or Euronews haven’t reported on it yet, nor are there any official statements from politicians of those countries about this.

Does anyone know if this is 100% verified? I find it strange that the r/europe moderation team allowed something like this to be posted without confirming it first.
