Finnish PM to push EU-wide ban on Russian tourist visas

Original: Finnish PM Petteri Orpo plans to propose a ban on tourist visas for Russians at the upcoming EU summit to enhance Europe

Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo plans to propose a European Union-wide ban on tourist visas for Russian citizens at the upcoming EU summit. He argues the measure would strengthen European security and reduce the risk of sabotage. Finland already suspended tourist visas for Russians in September 2022 and now wants the rest of the bloc to follow suit.

Why now: The proposal comes ahead of an EU summit, with security concerns over Russia driving debate on visa policy.
