EU ambassadors discussed the issue of Russia handing out passports in east Ukraine.
Brussels reporter for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Rikard Jozwiak has said the European Union may ban entry to Ukrainians with Russian passports.
"Eu ambassadors discussed the issue of Russia handing out passports in east Ukraine. 7 member states want sanctions, so long way to go to achieve unanimity. But they have instructed the commission to look into if ppl [people] with these passports can be stopped from entering the EU," he wrote on Twitter on May 17, 2019.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine outlawed Russian passports issued to Ukrainian citizens residing in Russia-occupied areas in Ukraine, namely Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
