Germany is advocating for the European Union to significantly restrict tourist visas for Russian citizens, citing a recent spate of sabotage incidents across the continent. Berlin has identified Moscow as the likely perpetrator behind these destabilizing actions.
The push for stricter visa policies comes in the wake of heightened security concerns, including the investigation into a Belarusian national with a Russian passport for an alleged drone attack on Leipzig airport. These events underscore a growing unease within Germany and potentially other EU member states regarding Russian state-sponsored activities.
