The minister pointed out: "Firstly, it is about the long-term national security of European states and the protection of their citizens from Russian bandits. Secondly, it will set the right price for the wrong choice: every Russian who signs a contract to invade Ukraine will know that he is also signing a lifetime ban on entry to Europe."
According to him, Estonia has already demonstrated leadership by implementing appropriate national solutions and proving that the mechanism works.
"Now it's time to extend this to the entire European Union, and I call on my EU colleagues to take this step seriously. It's about strengthening Europe's security," Sybiha emphasized.
