The EU should reduce the number of visas granted to Russian citizens, according to the bloc’s internal affairs commissioner. The commissioner says the EU needs to take further steps to cut the volume of visas issued to Russians, arguing that existing measures are not sufficient. The call is framed as part of the EU’s broader approach to managing relations and policy impacts tied to Russia, with the commissioner focusing specifically on visa issuance. The outlets report the same core message: the EU must do more to reduce Russian visa numbers. No additional details are provided in the reports about specific visa categories, targets, or timelines. The coverage also does not specify whether the commissioner is proposing new legislation or changes to existing rules, but it emphasizes that action is needed on visa numbers as the immediate policy lever.
