Belarusian said to have had tourist visa issued by Italy is investigated over alleged attempt to attack Leipzig airport
Germany is urging its European partners to introduce tighter limitations on Russian citizens entering the EU on tourist visas, after recent sabotage attacks which Berlin has blamed on Moscow.
German authorities are investigating a Belarusian national, who also holds a Russian passport, over the alleged attempt to attack Leipzig airport using drones and explosives.
The man is alleged to have entered the Schengen area on a tourist visa issued by the Italian embassy in Minsk, the capital of Belarus. Security sources said he did not appear to have ever travelled through Italy.
Germany’s foreign ministry has complained that too many visas were being issued to Russians.
You haven’t answered my question. Quite literally no part of what you said affects the overall argument* (sabotage operations are almost all done by locals and so are irrelevant unless you can prove Russian tourist involvement).
*Just as a reminder, the original question was “what advantage would be gained by not giving them tourism visas?”
Ah, yea never mind, I checked your history, you’re a Putin and genocide sympathizer. I thought you just have no common sense, but you’re obviously not asking these questions in good faith. Good bye.
