What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Elina Valtonen urged all EU countries to stop issuing tourist visas to Russians until Moscow ends its invasion of Ukraine. She called on the European Commission to adopt stricter guidelines and amend EU legislation to implement a ban on tourist visas. Valtonen also requested a ban on Schengen visas for President Vladimir Putin's inner circle and visa restrictions for Russian athletes and ex-combatants.

The proposal calls for sweeping changes to EU visa policy, which could affect international travel and tourism flows between the EU and Russia. Finland previously stopped issuing visas to Russians for non-essential travel in 2022.
