Details: Moscow considers the latest clarifications of the European Commission on the entry ban for Russian cars to be “beyond absurdity” and harmful to “ordinary Russians.”
“The desperate desire of the current EU leadership to erect a new “iron curtain” in Europe is now completely obvious, limiting as much as possible the possibilities of communication between people,” writes the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The actions of the European Commission are regarded there as “openly provoking EU member states to increase discrimination against Russians on the basis of nationality.” The Russian Foreign Ministry called on citizens to weigh the risks when traveling to the European Union.
“The capitals of the European Union states must clearly understand that it will not be possible to “sit behind” Brussels, hiding behind the notorious EU “solidarity”, which so openly tramples on human rights,” they added.
Last week Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia decided to stop allowing cars with Russian registration into the country after clarifications from the European Commission. Later they were joined Finland and Poland.
