Latvian Foreign Minister says they will not issue humanitarian visas to Russians

Latvian Foreign Ministry Edgars Rinkevics wrote about this on his Twitter.

For security reasons, Latvia will not issue humanitarian and other types of visas to Russian citizens who evade mobilization, and will not change the border crossing restrictions for Russian citizens with Schengen visas introduced since September 19, he wrote.

It is worth recalling that on September 19, restrictions on entry into Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland for Russian citizens with Schengen visas came into force.

In addition, on September 12, the decision of the EU Council to suspend the visa facilitation agreement with the Russian Federation came into force. Now it will be much more difficult and expensive for Russians to obtain visas to the EU countries.
