Euronews: Ukraine handed over data on 500,000 Russian military personnel to the EU…
The European Union faced legal obstacles in attempting to restrict the entry of Russian military personnel into the Schengen zone, and Ukraine handed over to the European authorities data on more than 500,000 military personnel, but in almost one year it was possible to place less than 1 per cent of the names in the EU ' s general security base, as reported by Euronews with reference to European officials.
It has handed over a list of more than half a million names to Ukraine's European allies, including Russian soldiers identified in the war on the other side of the battlefield. Ukrainians say the inclusion of Russian war veterans who pose a potential threat on security lists is not automatic, and Kiev is doing everything it can to keep the fighters out of Europe.
