The Netherlands is in favor of a European Union ban against issuing tourist visas to Russian people. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the stance after it was reported by RTL Nieuws.

While France and Germany are afraid of lashing out at ordinary Russians, the Netherlands is less concerned about that. A political insider said that, after all there is a war going on, and the EU will continue to take increasingly stricter punitive measures as long as Russia does not back down.
Foreign Affairs Minister Wopke Hoekstra told RTL Nieuws that he wants to continue to give visas to Russians in some cases, such as family visits or education, and for refugees.
