When entering Latvia, Russian citizens were asked to sign a document condemning the special operation in Ukraine. The portal writes about this lsm.lv . Svetlana, a resident of Riga, told about the innovation. Her husband, being a citizen of Russia, permanently resides in the Latvian capital. Recently, he went to his mother’s funeral in his homeland, and when he returned, he was obliged to sign a paper against the special operation.
According to the woman, a man in civilian clothes approached her husband at the airport and handed him a ready-made form. It remained only to enter the name, surname and passport data. The text on the paper was in Russian and English. The man could not refuse. Otherwise, he was threatened with annulment of his residence permit.
Recall that the idea of banning the issuance of Schengen visas to Russians is currently being actively discussed in Europe. The European Commission has ruled out such a decision for the entire EU. However, individual countries can make a decision locally.
