“Greetings from Polish “friends”: at the request of Warsaw, I am banned from entering the EU for a period of 3 years. It turns out that it was back on November 17 last year. At the same time, they quietly let me through to Italy last December. Now in Tegel, flying to today's Die Linke meeting. I’m waiting for the decision of the German police,” Bondarenko said in his Telegram channel.
The political scientist expressed surprise at the actions of the Polish authorities. “The last time I was in Poland was five years ago,” he told PolitNavigator.
Previously, at the request of Poland, Russian political scientist Alexei Martynov was banned from entering the EU.
Both Bondarenko and Martynov are known for their sharp criticism of the current regime in Ukraine, which came to power as a result of a coup.
