Fucking great…because that absolutely prevents bad actors and not at all at the cost of your average person. Like people who oppose this whole war bullshit and are just trying to live their fucking live, while still trying to somewhat keep in touch with friends and family. Sucks to be born with the “wrong” nationality
Didn’t the last few spies and saboteurs have passports from places such as Argentina, Mongolia and Kazakhstan?
Effective immediately, Russians will no longer be granted multiple-entry visas, meaning they will have to apply for a new, single-entry permit every time they want to travel to the bloc, as POLITICO reported Wednesday.
am I to believe the russian sabotagers are all on like super commuter schedule here or something
Yeah actually Russia just has 2 dudes who commute to the EU on a rotating bi-weekly schedule to blow up bridges and power infrastructure. This change will stop that in it’s tracks!
What sabotage what are you talking about?
Travelling to the EU is a privilege
Good god this nazi just cant go without tooting some dog whistle can she?
What sabotage what are you talking about?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_sabotage_operations_in_Europe has a decent overview.
I’m sorry have you actually read the article?
Russia has a history of covert operations and sabotage in Europe dating back to the Cold War,
and its military doctrine has long emphasized targeting enemy infrastructure.
As of 2025, responsibility for the 26 September 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions was unclear.
unclear
In 2023–2024, multiple undersea cables and pipelines in the Baltic Sea were severed or damaged, heightening suspicions of Russian sabotage.
On 8 October 2022, unknown saboteurs severed two Deutsche Bahn fibre-optic cables in Germany, … and some raised suspicions of Russian involvement.
Railway sabotage occurred in Poland, a key transit country for NATO military aid to Ukraine.
On 8 May 2024, an IKEA store in Vilnius was set ablaze after closing hours.
And on and on and on and on and on
The only times there actually is evidence, if it targets aid to the Ukrainian nazi-led civil war in donbass.
Except… none of these are proven, or even have any examinable evidence.
Most of them are “suspicions” and the others are just unilateral declarations by like, the UK police, which you can’t exactly take at face value.

Mmmm collective punishment, very noble of us.
