Multiple-entry Schengen visas for Russians drop 90% in one year

The issuance of multiple-entry Schengen visas to Russian citizens has fallen by 90 percent over the past year. This reduction limits Russians' ability to travel freely across European countries in the Schengen Area, affecting tourism, business, and personal travel. The decline coincides with broader travel disruptions, including a loss of a third of Russian connecting flight routes due to the US-Iran conflict.
