“According to the planned decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, Ukraine will introduce a visa regime for Russian citizens from July 1, 2022. As part of countering unprecedented threats to the national security, sovereignty and territorial integrity of our state, I suggested that the Cabinet of Ministers considers revising the regime of entry of Russian citizens into Ukraine. The Cabinet of Ministers must make this important decision – the resolution “On the termination of the Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the Government of the Russian Federation on visa-free travel for citizens of Ukraine and the Russian Federation and the application of some international agreements between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.”
In early May, a petition to introduce a visa regime for Russian citizens, registered on the president’s official website on Feb. 11, received the required 25,000 signatures.
On May 25, Zelenskyy responded to a petition and sent a letter to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal requesting that this issue be addressed.
