Germany has decided to ban the entry to the country to two Russians, Olena Kolbasnikova and her partner Max of the depth, who organized the pro -Kremlin rallies in Germany. This was reported by Reuters.
These persons became known after actively conducted actions with calls not to assist Ukraine after a full -scale invasion of Russia. The Reuters investigation revealed that Kolbasnikov and the Cossacks were key figures that promoted pro -Russian sentiment in Germany and received funding from the Russian government for their activities.
In August 2023, German prosecutors searched the couple near Cologne. Earlier it was reported that they purchased radios, headphones and phones for the Russian military involved in the conflict in Ukraine, raising funds among Russian supporters in Germany.
In June 2024, the couple announced her lawyer that she had left Germany in favor of Russia, referring to the "discriminatory campaign against the Russians." Kolbasnikova recently reported in her Telegram channel that they had been banned from entering Germany for a period of 20 years due to the threat of Germany. In her post, she posted a video with a letter from the Cologne administration, which confirms the ban.
It is interesting that Elena Kolbasnikova was born in Ukraine and received Russian citizenship only in 2023, while the blood is a native Russian. Both moved to Germany more than 10 years ago.
It should be reminded that Germany continues to support Ukraine in war, recently transferring new Iris-T air defense systems. Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the transfer of 17 such systems to Ukraine, emphasizing their effectiveness in protecting against Russian missiles and drones.
