The political scientist pointed out the risk for the EU in case of a visa ban for Russian citizens.

A possible visa ban for Russian citizens would be another blow to the budgets of many European countries. This opinion was expressed by political analyst Alexander Dudchak in an interview with Izvestia on September 18.

"Of course, for many countries this is another blow to the budget. But, on the other hand, if they were proceeding from common sense, they would not accept many things," the expert noted.

For Finland, which has lost Russian tourists, this is a very noticeable problem. According to the expert, the country's population barely exceeds 5 million and the absence of Russian buyers even in the border area is a powerful blow to the economy.

"Finland did not rely on common sense. They were guided by political expediency imposed by globalists from the outside. And all these political elites are not very worried about what will happen directly to the population," Dudchak concluded.

Path denied: EU considers introducing quotas on visas for Russians

In which countries will it become more difficult for Russian citizens to obtain entry permits

On September 15, it was reported that some EU countries advocate a complete ban on Russian tourists entering the bloc. At the same time, countries counting on the influx of Russian tourists during the holiday season, including Hungary, Greece, Italy, Spain and France, are "relatively liberal in issuing visas."
