The Danish government will consider imposing restrictions on tourist visas for citizens of Russia.
This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom, Yeppe Kofod, reports Censor.NЕТ with reference to Suspilne.
The official explained that if the EU does not agree on the issue of restrictions on visas for Russians, Denmark may revise the relevant rules at the national level.
"If this cannot be achieved by a joint decision, from the Danish side we will consider imposing restrictions that will further reduce the number of Russian tourist visas," he said.

Kofod stressed that he considered the very existence of the possibility for Russians to live peacefully in Europe while the Russian army destroys Ukrainian cities unacceptable.
Earlier, Estonian Prime Minister Kaija Kallas and Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin proposed to stop issuing Schengen visas to Russian citizens. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for a ban for Russians to enter the EU.
The ban on issuing Schengen visas to Russian citizens may be part of a new package of sanctions.

Ya but bring in those Muzzies by the thousands.
My first thought also!
LOL. Is anyone coming to Denmark for tourism?
Correct, what reason could there possibly be for that???
Many Russians have always used Finland, Denmark, Sweden as means of emigraton since late 1800’s
Who spit in Putin’s eye?
In fact about half of all tourists in Finland are Russians. If Finland is to ban them then their industry is going to fall on hard times.

Well, the Muslims go to see the latest edition of “who chopped the head off the little mermaid statue” and I did go once in the 90’s because they had one of the first LegoLand parks. Other than that…they have fish on the menu.
Yep, I’ve been around the same time.
I support whatever stupidity the Euroidiots are going to do to expose their hypocrisy.
Right now they are playing Ukrainian anthem and ask people to sign a paper stating that they are against Putin at border crossing.
In response, some gas stations and liquor shops in Karelia are now playing the Russian anthem to the Finns and want them to sign the paper that they are supporting the Putin’s war in Ukraine before fueling them.
You can’t imagine how many are eager to abandon the European values for $2 gas!
I hear Pyongyang is lovely this time of year!
