EU's Hihg Commissioner, Ukraine’s Kuleba urges EU to ban Russian tourists

Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba has called on the European Union to ban Russian tourists, describing the measure as appropriate since a majority of Russians supported the country’s “genocidal war of aggression” against Kyiv.

“A visa ban for Russian tourists and some other categories will be an appropriate response to Russia’s genocidal war of aggression in the heart of Europe supported by an overwhelming majority of Russian citizens,” Kuleba said in a statement emailed to Reuters.

“The time for half measures is gone,” he added. “Only a tough and consistent policy can produce results.”
