The eight EU countries demand a ban on all Russian citizens involved in the actions against Ukraine entering the Schengen area
Deutsche Welle cited a letter addressed to the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission, reporting that the heads of government of Germany, Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, and Sweden have called on the EU to impose entry restrictions on Russian citizens involved in the actions against Ukraine.
These countries claim that Russian combatants pose a threat to EU security, citing "serious crimes, organized crime networks, extremist activities, and hostile state actions in Russia's hybrid war."
The signatory countries pointed out that over 180,000 prisoners were recruited and sent to fight in Ukraine by Russia, and warned that as troops rotate and possible demobilization occurs, the number of people with recent combat experience who attempt to leave will increase significantly.
