Imposing a visa regime for Russian citizens visiting Ukraine might provoke retaliation from Moscow and “create problems for Ukrainians working in Russia”, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry Official Alexei Makeev said.
According to Makeev, all Ukrainian citizens currently working in Russia would be required to return to their homeland and apply for Russian work visas.
He also suggested that in this case, Russia might offer “millions of Ukrainians” a chance to stay in Russia and accept citizenship, the Moscow Times reports.
