The refusal was motivated by the institute's new policy towards Russians.

“In this case, there was an initial misunderstanding of these limitations, which has been ironed out.

We contacted the applicant to offer her a place and apologized for the inconvenience caused, ”the newspaper quoted the director of the institute, Owen Sansom, as saying.

According to him, the educational institution will revise the rules in order to prevent the repetition of a similar situation in the future.

Earlier it was reported that due to a special operation in Ukraine, Russian citizens were restricted from visiting the Château de Vincennes in France, southeast of Paris.

Later, in the office of the Minister of the Armed Forces of France, Sebastien Lecornu, they expressed regret over the unlawful denial of access to the castle to the Russians.
