Latvia releases the Russians only after condemning the Russian power - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation

The Russian Embassy in Latvia claims that citizens of Russia can cross the border only after signing a statement in which they express their disagreement with the Kremlin's aggressive policies. The Russian Embassy in Latvia declared innovations adopted by the Latvian border service against Russian citizens. The Russians can cross the border only after they sign a statement in which the actions of the Russian authorities are condemned.

"In case of refusal to do so, as practice shows, they can not only refuse, but also bring them to the black list," the embassy reported. We will remind, on September 19 the ban on the entry of Russians with tourist visas to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland came into force. The prohibition applies to visas owners who have received them to other EU countries. As a result, Russian citizens will not be able to enter these four countries into the EU, even if they want to pass them in transit.

The exceptions made only for dissidents and holders of residence in these countries, employees of transport companies transporting goods, diplomatic missions and those Russians who are traveling to and from Kaliningrad in and from Kaliningrad. "Russians, do not try to cross the border, do not expect you here, stop the war against Ukraine and get away from this beautiful country!" - Latvia Minister Edgar Rinkevich commented the initiative.
