UZ reminded about the need to have a passport or other identity documents when crossing the state border.
Citizens who plan to leave Ukraine must prepare documents in advance, especially a foreign passport . Ukrzaliznytsia has reported the first cases of people landing at the state border.
Officially, a Ukrainian citizen must have a passport to enter the European Union. Since the beginning of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine, citizens wishing to obtain temporary protection or refugee status have been allowed, at the discretion of border guards, to present other identity documents.
However, Ukrzaliznytsia reports that there are already cases of border guards refusing to enter the EU, passengers were dropped off at the border.
” As Ukrzaliznytsia did not receive from the SBGS warnings about changes in the rules of border crossing by citizens of Ukraine, we expect from colleagues clearer explanations about the non-admission of refugees without foreign passports, “- responded to the incidents in UZ. “We urge our public sector colleagues to be cohesive and clearly communicate in all matters concerning the rescue of Ukrainians.” /> Despite the continuation of hostilities, more than 870 thousand citizens returned to Ukraine. Whereas, in the cities temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation, Ukrainian citizens are forcibly deported to Russia.
