MOSCOW, October 6. /TASS/. Russia has introduced special entry requirements for citizens of Ukraine arriving from third countries, according to the executive order approved by the Russian government, which was made available to TASS.

Under the order, starting from midnight on October 16, Ukrainian citizens will be able to enter Russia only through the Ludonka road traffic checkpoint in the Pskov Region and the air checkpoint at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport.

This is a provisional measure aimed at ensuring Russians’ security amid the current geopolitical circumstances.

The procedure covers all Ukrainian citizens aged above 14, as well as minors under 14 traveling with their legal representative, guardian or custodian who are foreign citizens.

Ukrainian citizens aged under 14 traveling from third countries on their own or with their legal representatives, guardians or custodians who hold Russian citizenship are not subject to this measure.

The procedure, which is currently in effect for Ukrainian citizens in the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, as well as the Zaporozhye and Kherson Regions, including in the area of the special military operation, remains in force. They can cross into Russia through the checkpoints located on the administrative border between the new regions and neighboring territories.
