Turkey has not requested and lets Russians in without a visa. At least 14,000 Russians are estimated to have entered Turkey since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine. This has raised concerns among some Western officials, who fear that Russia could be using Turkey as a backdoor to bypass sanctions and send fighters to Ukraine. However, Turkish officials have denied these allegations, saying that they are only allowing Russians in for humanitarian reasons. They also say that they are closely monitoring the situation and will take action if they believe that Russia is abusing the visa-free regime.
