Yatsenyuk ordered Russian citizens to be allowed in only with international passports
Kyiv, February 03 (PolitNavigator, Vladimir Raichenko) – Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk signed a decree according to which the entry of Russian citizens will henceforth take place only with international passports, and not with internal ones, as was previously the case.
According to him, such an initiative is “the introduction of European rules for crossing the state border.”

Such a step, Arseniy Yatsenyuk emphasized, will significantly strengthen control at the border and ensure the interests of Ukraine’s national security.
“The Security Service of Ukraine accordingly receives additional information about the number and names of citizens of the Russian Federation who cross the border,” the official said.
Yatsenyuk ordered that Russian citizens be admitted only with foreign passports.
