"Latvia has officially recognized Russia as a terrorist state. We want the whole world to do the same. After everything the invaders did in Ukraine, there can be only one attitude towards Russia - as a terrorist state. And, by the way, from this point of view you should determine the attitude towards the citizens of Russia. I thank the Czech Republic, the Baltic States and other European countries that brought the issue of visas for citizens of a terrorist state to the European Union on an official level," said Volodymyr Zelenski.
