Internet users criticized the head of the Estonian government, Kaya Kallas, who supported the call of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to stop issuing visas to Russians, RIA Novosti reports. She believes that visiting European countries is not a right, but a privilege for everyone. ''Stop issuing visas to Russians,'' the politician said.

Users pointed out that politicians should be concerned with bringing people together, not dividing them. The Prime Minister of Estonia was reminded that thousands of Russian citizens work in Europe. They are highly qualified and make a great contribution to the development of the European economy. Users note that free movement is one of the human rights.

In addition, the inhabitants of Europe suggested that the politician should wait until the end of winter. Then Europe will become a death trap for visitors.
