In the United States opposed the idea of ​​a visa ban for all Russians

“We do not believe that holding all Russians accountable is a productive measure,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

Kirby did not support this intention of the European Union, because, in his opinion, "the Russians themselves should not suffer as a result of this."

Earlier, the head of diplomacy of the European Union, Josep Borrell, said that the foreign ministers of 27 EU countries decided to freeze the visa facilitation agreement with Russia.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland Pavel Yablonsky informed that Poland, Finland and the Baltic countries intend to standardize the procedures used by the border services in relation to the Russians.
