Ukraine will Extend the Entry Ban for Russian Men

The National Security Council of Ukraine recommended that the State Border Service of the country continue to increase security of the border with Russia after the abolition of martial law. This is stated on the personal website of the Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov. The representative of the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Sergey Yarovoi, in turn, confirmed that the ban on the entry of men from Russia at the age of 16 to 60 to the country would continue. After Russian border guards captured Ukrainian ships near the coast of the annexed Crimea, martial law was imposed in 10 regions of Ukraine. A few days later, Kyiv banned the entry into the country for men with Russian citizenship between the ages of 16 to 29.   December 26, President Petro Poroshenko announced the completion of martial law in Ukraine.
