Russia warns of ‘retaliatory measures’ if its citizens denied Schengen visas
ANKARA (AA) – Russia has warned of “retaliatory measures” if Russian citizens are denied Schengen visas.
Calling a possible ban on Schengen visas for Russians “emotionally driven,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Kremlin hopes an initiative by Finland towards that end is not implemented.
Moscow will “react very negatively and take action” if neighboring Finland stops issuing visas to Russians, he added.
