The European Union has agreed to impose new travel curbs on Russian diplomats, requiring them to notify authorities before crossing internal EU borders. The move comes amid rising concerns that some diplomats may be used as cover for espionage or sabotage.
The Czech Republic spearheaded the initiative, citing increased incidents of sabotage and intelligence operations within its territory.
Travel restrictions include limitations on intra‐EU movement and stricter visa notifications. Russian Foreign Ministry officials have criticized the decision as overly politicized and harmful to diplomatic norms.
For European media, this marks a further escalation in post-Ukraine war sanctions. For global readers, it signals the deepening of geopolitical divisions and how security concerns are reshaping diplomatic conduct.
