Description

?? Russia wants dual citizens to show support for war when crossing border.

Evidence

Quotes

Russian border guards have started to question Russian-Estonian dual citizens crossing the border to confirm in writing that they support Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
ERR has received several reports of dual citizens being forced to sign statements or fill out questionnaires about their attitude to the war.
"The requirement has reportedly been in place for a month mainly at the Ivangorod border crossing."
