Italy and France raise concerns that EU proposal to ban Russian veterans could lead to blanket entry ban on all Russians

Summary

Italy and France have expressed concerns that the European Commission's proposal to ban former Russian military personnel from entering the EU could inadvertently result in a blanket ban on all Russian citizens. Both countries support restricting entry for former Russian military but believe the current draft is too broad. They suggest implementing restrictions through visa policy rather than sanctions, though no specifics were provided on how this would work in practice.
