Pilots living in Finland and having Russian citizenship experience difficulties in finding employment. This was told by a lawyer from Helsinki, Natalya Malgina, in an interview with journalist Alexei Stefanov, the Sprats in Exile / Latvian News telegram channel reports.

According to the lawyer, Russian pilots in Finland are not allowed to drive passenger planes, they are also prohibited from working in private companies, to control drones. Moreover, the presence of a Finnish or European license does not help - even under this condition, a Russian passport closes the path to heaven, and appeals to the courts do not give results.

Earlier, human rights activists in Germany said that officials interpret the sanctions imposed by the European Union against Russia and its citizens in a strange way. In particular, cars with Russian numbers were repeatedly confiscated in German cities, and in Bavaria, the prosecutor's office seized the private property of two Russians - three apartments and a bank account, and these people did not appear on the sanctions list.

Human rights activists note that the EU has not worked out the legal framework for the implementation of the sanctions policy, and many allow their free interpretation. As a result, people with Russian citizenship who are not included in the sanctions list suffer.
