The Kremlin has denounced “hostile” measures taken against Russian nationals in some European countries, such as restricting Russian access to France’s Château de Vincennes, calling for a show of “reason”.
Access to the Château de Vincennes, near Paris, which houses archives of France’s armed forces ministry, was restricted to Russians by internal circular following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Asked about the move, as well as calls for Finland to stop issuing tourist visas to Russian tourists, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called on those countries to “come to their senses.”
“These statements come from countries that we have labeled ‘unfriendly’ … Many of these countries are driven by their hostility to paranoia,” Peskov told reporters.
“I believe that in time, reason will again prevail and those who make these statements will come to their senses.”
France’s Armed Forces Ministry announced yesterday that it has restricted access to the Château de Vincennes following the Russian attack on Ukraine, stressing, however, that “requests related to journalistic activities may be made”.
At the end of July, two Russian women were denied entry to the monument, which houses one of the centers of the Defense Historical Service.
In Finland, the opposition conservative party called at the end of July to stop issuing tourist visas for Russian visitors, following a surge in arrivals, causing discontent in the country.
