This is evidenced by the decision of the European Commission on the visa ban for Russians. Andreas Umland, a German political scientist, an analyst at the Stockholm Center for Eastern European Studies expressed this opinion on the FREEDOM TV channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <strong>He commented on the complication of issuing visas to Russians:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Now there is no longer such a gap that used to be between the Central Eastern European countries and Western European continental countries.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>According to the political scientist, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, including Finland, wanted a tougher decision regarding Russian tourists. In Germany, there was a slightly different philosophy &#8211; they believe that the trips of Russians to the European Union are somehow useful:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cNowadays, they have found a compromise solution that the regime or the process of issuing visas will be complicated. In principle, national states will decide what kind of visas they will issue\u2026 Now, in any case, it is difficult for Russians to leave, because it is not so easy to get to the European Union by transport.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Umland also noted that now Ukraine has finally become an understandable state for Western Europeans:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThere has been a political shift in Europe. However, I am afraid that we should not expect a quick accession to the EU yet. The accession negotiations, as a rule, last for many years &#8211; on average from 7 to 10 years. Maybe Ukraine will be able to speed it up, but it depends on it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, Ukraine\u00a0President Volodymyr Zelenskyy&#8217;s\u00a0call for Russian citizens to be banned from entering the EU ignited a major debate in Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lately, European Union foreign ministers have agreed to suspend a visa agreement with Moscow, making it harder for Russian citizens to obtain entry to the bloc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than a million Russian citizens have travelled to the EU since the invasion of Ukraine in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several eastern EU countries that border Russia is expected to impose further restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read also:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/16-5-million-us-dollars-per-hour-spent-by-russia-for-war-in-ukraine-video\/\">16.5 million US dollars per hour spent by Russia for war in Ukraine (VIDEO)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past six months, due to the situation in Ukraine, there &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":531791,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49,36418,36415,36422],"tags":[78],"sources":[],"class_list":["post-531778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-11473-news-en-2","category-11473-news-en","category-11473-news-en-3","tag-homepage-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>For six months, there has been a noticeable rapprochement between the countries of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe thanks to Ukraine, - Umland - Freedom<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/for-six-months-there-has-been-a-noticeable-rapprochement-between-the-countries-of-western-central-and-eastern-europe-thanks-to-ukraine-umland\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"For six months, there has been a noticeable rapprochement between the countries of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe thanks to Ukraine, - Umland - Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Over the past six months, due to the situation in Ukraine, there ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/for-six-months-there-has-been-a-noticeable-rapprochement-between-the-countries-of-western-central-and-eastern-europe-thanks-to-ukraine-umland\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Freedom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-09-02T17:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/69.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"464\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"348\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Danylo Shportilo\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/for-six-months-there-has-been-a-noticeable-rapprochement-between-the-countries-of-western-central-and-eastern-europe-thanks-to-ukraine-umland\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/for-six-months-there-has-been-a-noticeable-rapprochement-between-the-countries-of-western-central-and-eastern-europe-thanks-to-ukraine-umland\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Danylo Shportilo\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/uatv.ua\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/f4fe8d6d08deebcdee69f6671576d2d2\"},\"headline\":\"For six months, there has been a noticeable rapprochement between the countries of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe thanks to Ukraine, &#8211;
