Ukraine has handed over data on more than 500,000 Russian military personnel to European Union (EU) authorities. This was done in order to obtain a ban on their entry into the Schengen area, reports Euronews. Less than 1 percent of the submitted IDs were entered into the Schengen Information System (SIS). It should be noted that in order to include each person it is necessary to carry out an individual assessment and prove that he is a personal threat. However, this is not possible and may result in lawsuits. Earlier it became known that the European countries that willingly issue Schengen visas to Russians - France, Italy, Greece and Spain continue to provide visas to their compatriots.
