Minister of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Oleg Nemchinov spoke on the air of the national telethon about how Russian citizens can get a visa to enter Ukraine.
Despite the fact that Ukrainian diplomatic missions are closed in Russia, a visa can be obtained at Russian visa centers that have valid agreements with Ukraine. Nemchinov spoke about this with reference to the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Mykola Tochitsky. In addition, according to the minister, Volodymyr Zelensky will be offered to choose a country that will temporarily represent the interests of Ukraine in Russia.
“After this is done and a decision is made, the Foreign Ministry will additionally inform both our citizens and citizens of the Russian Federation about the method of obtaining a visa and its cost,” Nemchinov summed up.
Ukraine introduces a visa regime with Russia from July 1. According to Zelensky, this was done "as part of countering unprecedented threats to national security, sovereignty and territorial integrity [of Ukraine]."
