Published

on

In a crucial milestone amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict, the European Commission stated in a major statement on Monday that European values aren’t there for sale, and that the selling of citizenship through “golden passports” is unlawful under European law. According to the Commission, this creates “severe risks” to their country, and other European countries affected should “immediately discontinue their investor citizenship schemes.”

“The EU Commission has published a recommendation asking the Member States to terminate any current “golden passport” programs as soon as possible. The Commission also encourages Member States to consider whether citizenship granted to Russian or Belarusian people on the EU sanction list in connection with the Ukrainian conflict should be revoked “According to the Commission.

“Concerning investor resident schemes, Member States should immediately withdraw or refuse to renew permits granted to Russians or Belarusian nations subject to sanctions, and Member States should also suspend the issuance of residence permits to all Russians and Belarusian nationals who are subject to EU sanctions in connection with the Ukrainian war,” it continued.

Furthermore, the raging Russia-Ukraine conflict has recently entered its second month, with no sign of a cease-fire insight. Dmitry Peskov, a Kremlin spokesman, said earlier in the day that peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul are unlikely to start on Monday, but could start on Tuesday instead. He went on to say that following the talks in Istanbul, there are no preparations for Putin and Zelensky to meet face to face. Because the warring parties have yet to achieve an agreement on a ceasefire, the aforementioned peace discussions between the leaders must take place face to face.

In Prague, Czech residents protested against Putin.

Furthermore, residents flocked to the streets of Prague, Czech Republic, to express sympathy for the war-torn ex-Soviet state and to denounce Vladimir Putin. Demonstrators also held signs criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin. Around three lakh individuals have sought asylum in Prague after fleeing war-torn Ukraine, according to local media sources in Prague and declarations from the Czech Republic’s administration.
