Kuleba: If EU excludes Ukraine from "green" travel list, no total border shutdown expected
Ukrinform
In case Ukraine is taken off the European Union’s list of safe countries in terms of the COVID-19 spread, this will not imply a total closure of EU borders to Ukrainians.
That’s according to Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba.
"After Ukraine's exclusion from the EU's 'green list,' there will be no total shutdown of the EU borders. This is a recommendation, while the final decisions lie with every individual EU member state," Kuleba wrote on Twitter.
Kuleba noted that the foreign ministry is actively working with partners to maintain maximum travel freedom for Ukrainians.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, during an online briefing on October 20, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said the European Union was likely to take Ukraine off the travel list of “safe” countries amid the rapid increase in COVID-19 incidence.
