Canada revokes recommendation not to travel to Ukraine

According to an Ukrinform correspondent, the updated recommendation is posted on the ministry's website.

Instead of the previous comprehensive recommendation not to travel to Ukraine, Canadians are now advised to "exercise a high degree of caution" when traveling to Ukraine. At the same time, the citizens of Canada are still urged to avoid all travel to Crimea, non-government controlled areas and vicinity in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as well as to avoid non-essential travel to government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

The Global Affairs Canada's recommendations are not binding on ordinary Canadians but they do influence insurance and other services.

The Global Affairs Canada has advised citizens of Canada to refrain from traveling abroad since last March, but this week began to soften its recommendations.
