European Union countries that border Russia may ban Russian tourists from entering if the union does not agree on a European-wide suspension of Schengen visas. This was announced on Tuesday by the Lithuanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gabrielius Landsbergis, quoted by Reuters.

At the summit of the foreign ministers of the EU member states, Gabrielius Landsbergis said that his country had banned the railway transit of all goods from Russia, which is under EU sanctions, through its territory, since June 17.
"This decision was made after consultations with the European Commission and was implemented under the leadership of the EC," Landsbergis explained.
