Baltic nations restrict entry of Russians

European Union members Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have agreed to restrict the entry of Russian citizens travelling from Russia and Belarus. The three Baltic states expect the entry ban to be in place by the middle of September, after it gets formal approval from the national governments.

Urmas Reinsalu is Estonia's Foreign Minister. He told Newsday: “One issue is moral…but there is also a security perspective. In Estonia we…have a population of 1.3 million people. We have got about 300,000 Russian Federation citizens entering our territory since the start of the war…so this is quite an invasion.”
