Can I enter the country without a visa?

Currently, in 99% of cases, citizens of third countries who need a visa to enter the Schengen area are not allowed through. Only those immigrants who cross the border for the purpose of reunification with their family (for example, a wife and child - citizens of Ukraine who received Temporary Protection in Europe) can pass without a visa.
