Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has criticised Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs.
Globalinfo.az reports that she wrote about this on her Telegram channel.
The reason was the prime minister’s call on European Union (EU) countries to stop issuing tourist visas to Russian citizens.
Zakharova said that the call to stop issuing tourist visas to Russians in order to prevent possible future “hybrid threats” is no longer relevant.
According to her, the threat to the European Union comes from the citizens of the bloc’s own member states:
“Kulbergs should turn on the TV. There they show that the people destroying the European Union are precisely EU citizens.”
Note that the Latvian prime minister had earlier expressed dissatisfaction that some European countries continue to issue visas to Russian citizens. He said Latvia is subjected to “hybrid attacks” every year and that in 2026 the country expects the highest migrant inflow of the past five years.
