Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demands from the authorities of Western countries that they ban all Russian citizens from entering their territory. He said that all Russians should be held accountable for the special millitary situation, including those who do not support Russia's actions and even left the country because of their beliefs, TASS reports. According to Zelensky, it is necessary to return them to their homeland.
 
The head of the Kyiv regime called the closure of the borders the most important restriction. He believes that the rest of the sanctions are too weak compared to this measure. Zelensky supported his point of view by the fact that the Russians allegedly "take away the land that belongs to someone else."

The head of the Estonian government, Kaya Kallas, spoke out against the trips of Russians abroad. She believes that visiting European countries is not a right, but a privilege for everyone. ''Stop issuing visas to Russians,'' she said.
