EU plans entry ban for Russian war participants

The European Union is preparing an entry ban for participants in Russia's war against Ukraine. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced the initiative, stating it was discussed by EU foreign ministers during a meeting in Luxembourg. The measure targets veterans of what Russia calls its 'special military operation' and is expected to take effect starting in June. This move represents a further tightening of EU sanctions and travel restrictions against individuals associated with the Russian military campaign.
