European Union members Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Finland, which all share a border with Russia, may stop Russian tourists from entering their
countries if the EU does not enact a union-wide ban, Lithuania’s foreign minister said on Tuesday.
EU foreign ministers are due to discuss on Monday an EU-wide visa ban for Russian nationals, which is supported mainly by the five countries bordering Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz opposed such a ban on Monday, saying Russians should be able to flee their home country if they disagree with Kremlin policy. Some other EU countries such as Hungary are also likely to resist an EU-wide ban.
