The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is working on tightening the rules of entry for Russians
According to him, one of the options could be “restricting the entry of certain categories of citizens of Russia”, which will be determined in the process of interaction with the special services.
Other options include the introduction of a visa regime or entry on biometric passports. Not excluded a complete ban on entry into Ukraine from the territory of Russia.
Later he explained to the Interfax-Ukraine agency that changing the order of entry / exit of persons into the territory of the country falls within the competence of the government. “The very procedure for traveling by citizens is regulated by an intergovernmental agreement, and accordingly it is in the government’s authority to change the agreement currently in place,” the Foreign Ministry spokesman added.
Previously, the idea to introduce entry into Ukraine for citizens of the Russian Federation on biometric passports was supported by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksandr Turchynov and First Vice-Speaker of the Parliament Irina Gerashchenko.
