Russia on Friday recommended that its citizens refrain from traveling to the United Kingdom and seeking visas for the country because of its anti-Russian policy.
“With that in mind The hostile policy of our country towards the United Kingdom and to avoid financial losses and other problemsWe urge Russian citizens to refrain from traveling to the United Kingdom and obtain visas from that country if possible, ”the Foreign Ministry said in a statement today.
Russian Ministry, in recent times, The UK has received numerous complaints from Russian citizens claiming that obtaining a visa is “practically impossible or very difficult”. Russia guarantees that it will do the same with the British “until the situation improves”.
According to Moscow, Not only tourists but also Russians who have contracted to work in the UK can obtain a visa Or those who wish to visit their relatives.
“We spoke to the British embassy in Moscow about this unacceptable situation and demanded a clear explanation of the essence of the problem,” the Russian ministry added.
The Russian diplomacy describes British statements as “unacceptable.” UK embassy services prioritize processing visa applications for Ukrainian refugees, which delays the processing of Russian applications.
Moreover, the Russian Ministry underlined The situation is exacerbated by the fact that embassy fees must be paid by credit card on the British Internet portal. But the portal did not accept Russian bank cards because of Western sanctions against Russia for its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Government of England headed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson became one of Ukraine’s key allies against Russia.
