The decision of the European Parliament to ban the issuance of visas to citizens of the Russian Federation who have received passports in the territories of the new Russian regions, as well as in the Republic of Crimea, the Republic of Abkhazia and the Republic of South Ossetia is regarded as another unfriendly attack by the countries of the European Union, a gross violation of the fundamental principles of European democracy and, in fact, is blatant discrimination against Russian citizens living in these territories.
