KIEV , Nov. 30 – Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Secretary Oleksandr Turchynov said Ukraine should introduce a visa regime with Russia for security reasons.
"My opinion - yes [it is necessary to introduce a visa regime]. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not support this position. They want to protect of the interests of our citizens. We do have a lot of migrant workers in Russia . They were forced to leave and work there because of difficult circumstances here. But I want to state one obvious fact: we are at war with Russia and we should strictly control any movement across the Ukrainian-Russian border," he said in an exclusive interview with Interfax - Ukraine.
