The decree, which comes into force from today, suspends the simplified procedure for issuing travel visas to citizens of EU member states, as well as Norway, Switzerland, Denmark and Iceland. In addition, the decree empowers the Russian Foreign Ministry and other bodies to decide whether to impose individual restrictions on entry to Russia on "foreign nationals and stateless persons who commit hostile acts against Russia, its citizens or its legal entities".
LEFT BY LEFT HERE ALL DEVELOPMENTS
Last month the Russian government approved a list of hostile countries which included the US, Canada, Britain, EU member states and Ukraine, among others.
In another development, Reuters relays a cable from Russian news agency TASS, which quotes Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin as saying that Moscow plans to end the ban on flights to and from 52 countries from April 9 as the country continues to lift Covid-19-related restrictions. Specifically, Russia plans to resume flights to and from Argentina, South Africa and other "friendly countries," Mishustin said, referring to countries that have not imposed sanctions against Moscow following Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.
