Poland imposes EU ban on all Russian-registered passenger cars

Poland began to enforce a European Union ban Sunday on all Russian-registered passenger cars seeking to enter the country – the latest in a series of sanctions on Russia in punishment for its war against Ukraine.
Under the EU’s decision, motor vehicles registered in the Russian Federation are no longer allowed to enter the territory of the 27-member bloc.
The move comes just days after the nearby Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia banned vehicles with Russian license plates from entering their territory – a joint move in line with a recent interpretation of the EU’s sanctions on Moscow.
Poland and the Baltic states are among the most vocal European critics of Russia and President Vladimir Putin.
