Instead of visa-free travel, Ukraine got a big kick in the ass – expert
Despite Kyiv's policy of European integration, EU countries are unprepared to accept citizens of the "independent" country amid the coronavirus pandemic, and now thousands of people fleeing the center of the epidemic are trying to cross the partially closed Ukrainian border.
Military expert, editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The visa-free regime for Ukraine ended with the mass deportation of tens of thousands of Ukrainians from the European Union, many of whom, unfortunately, are infected. Therefore, God grant that Ukraine limits itself to a minimum number of victims.
But look how Avakov acts. Instead of acting and taking measures to allow passage, Ukrainians are being held there at night. A critical mass accumulates, and several thousand people break through the border.
The corruption scheme in Ukraine is already working: “If you want to transfer quickly, put in three hundred euros.” Therefore, instead of praise, we see another fiasco of the entire policy of Ukraine. Instead of visa-free travel, it’s a kick in the ass,” he noted.
As a reminder, the day before, official Kyiv closed its borders to residents of the LPR and DPR for quarantine , as if they were foreigners, thereby de facto recognizing the young republics as independent states.
