"These 23 countries include those states where a visa is required and where certain quarantine restrictions apply. These are Turkey, Serbia, Albania, Northern Macedonia, Montenegro, Belarus, Great Britain, the United States, Mexico, Egypt, Tunisia, and the Republic of Korea. These are the most popular directions," he said during an online briefing on Tuesday, according to an UNIAN correspondent.

"The rest of the countries are no less beautiful, but less attractive for Ukrainian travelers, such as Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania, Burundi, and the Seychelles," Kuleba said.

As UNIAN reported earlier, the European Union named 14 countries whose citizens are deemed "safe" to be let in from July 1, despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Ukraine is not on the "safe" list.
