DISINFO: Poroshenko deprives Donbas residents from traveling to EU without visas,...

SUMMARY

Poroshenko deprives Donbas residents from traveling to EU without visas, since he refuses to allow them to get biometric passports.

RESPONSE

President Poroshenko said the following; If there are problems in issuing passports for those who are on occupied territory we must examine our legislative base, but we cannot leave these people without passports. If we can’t issue them biometric passports then with the consent of the Ukrainian Security Service and the Foreign Ministry we should propose to the Cabinet of Ministers that they be issued regular passports.bit.ly/2sIxDvK,
