Lithuania Proposes Mandatory Anti-War Declaration for Russian, Belarusian Entrants

Lithuanian lawmakers are advancing a proposal to require Russian and Belarusian citizens to sign a public declaration condemning Russia's aggression against Ukraine as a condition for entry. This marks a tightening of national visa and border policy amid ongoing EU sanctions, though the measure's legal feasibility and EU-wide alignment remain uncertain. The move signals continued Baltic-state pressure to isolate Russian citizens within the EU framework.
