Aleksey Meshkov, the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, said in a press briefing on November 29, 2016 that the European Union (EU) is committing “visa genocide.” He inferred that Crimeans with Russian passports must change their nationality to Ukrainian to get an EU visa.
In a conversation with Voice of America, Sijbren de Jong points to the lack of evidence to support Meshkov’s claim of “visa genocide” by the EU. The full interview can be read here.
