I support this 100%. Russians coming here enjoying the fruits of our liberal democracies while their government bombs Ukraine to hell.
The absolute state of allowing citizens of a hostile state (possibly with hostile intend!) to be welcomed on our soil. Its a disgrace.
You may come again after you discarded of Putin and his cretin followers.
If the war goes on for much longer then I think we have to start looking at doing things like this and banning western companies from operating in Russia.
Imagine how many fat spotty vatniks we would piss off if we banned western gaming companies from operating in Russia.
Another way of looking at it is that the EU is getting Russian money to spend on helping Ukraine.
I see no downside. It is not like trade where we end up providing them with necessary tech or jobs. We are benefiting. If you bar them, that money could be spent internally, propping up their dying economy even a little bit.
That would also make it harder for Russians to flee. If you want to get rid of Putin, getting anti Putin information into Russia and financing anti Putin groups is the way to go..
We ousted Milosevic within a year after USA (NED, USAID) started pumping money into opposition. Before that we were almost as walled in as North Korea with 0 success of removing the asshole.
Majority of Russians visiting the EU are very well of. Make it mandatory that to get a Schengen visa they must first donate 1000€ to Ukraine.
Judging people on what their government does is very stupid. Prevent oligarchs and members of the government from traveling is the smart move.
Furthermore, this doesn’t help Ukraine in any way.
All types of Visa for russians please, this is the national security case
