Transit Through Ukraine has been Prohibited: New Decision by the Ukrainian Government

The Ukrainian government has announced a new decision that introduces certain changes and clarifications regarding the rules for entry into Ukraine for foreigners and stateless persons, effective from today until September 28, 2020. This was reported by the Armenian Embassy in Ukraine.

The list of family members of Ukrainian citizens who can cross the border has been expanded; the entry ban does not apply to those who are grandparents of a Ukrainian citizen.

TRANSIT THROUGH UKRAINE HAS BEEN PROHIBITED. It remains unclear whether the ban also affects passengers remaining in the transit area of the "Boryspil" airport (more information will be provided later).

Categories of individuals allowed to enter Ukraine for educational purposes have been clarified. Entry is permitted only for those who will be studying at HIGHER educational institutions.
